OMG. I am vicariously indulging in every sip of Evelyn Hugo's life tea (so far). I love this relatable(ish) content. Less than 50 pages to go. Let's find out why she really is the monster she claims to be ?

pickA great coming-of-age story about a biracial teen who is trying to find her identity while navigating being a teenager. I found Navaeh real, flawed, and honest in her search for belonging.

pickAnother wonderfully written and diverse MG story. 💚 This story follows two biracial brothers and the racism they face at a new school. The story is told with fencing at its core and I knew absolutely nothing about this sport before this book. I liked the parallels between the events taking place at school and the rules of fencing. The writing is short and choppy at times but once you get use to the rhythm it works for the story.
pickHF Novel in verse with multiple POVs set in Cuba 🇨🇺 mid-1840s. This is the story of Antonio Chuffat, Cuba‘s warrior of words, a young man of African, Chinese, and Cuban descent who becomes a champion for civil rights. “Liberty is the beast that is never tamed; it breaks the chains that bind it with blood and fire, to reclaim its rights.”
ANTONIO CHUFFAT

Slowly reading Blended by Draper. It has been on my to-read list for too long. When my students check it out, it seems to take a lot of time for them to read it, which means they stay with it and don't give up. Now I see where they might need comprehension support. I liked this quote.
For #nationalpuppyday here‘s a pic of my sister‘s 14 year old rat terrier/chihuahua mix Tinkerbell! She‘s an old lady but still a tiny puppy due to her size. My sister also wants me to make it clear that she was 7 when she named her dog as a puppy so no judgement 😂.
pickSenna‘s parents were an interracial marriage before it was common. As kids, Senna and her siblings were always running from their abusive father. Both very intelligent writers, her mom comes from Boston Brahmins, but her dad‘s lineage is less clear. She goes to the South to trace his roots and try to find out about her grandfather who her father never remembers meeting. Well researched and beautifully written, I really enjoyed this! #roll100
