I've just picked up a teaching contract for next year and I'm looking to build a little class library! Would love some recommendations of books for 14-15 year olds, thanks guys 💕

Totally blanked on #yawednesday this week, but better late than never, right?

This book and its sequel are middle grade or fast reads for older kids. Twins Cleo and Alex go on an adventure looking for their missing father and escaping the street gang they ratted on in NYC. Globe-trotting, pirates, mystery, and some thought-provoking treatment of gender differences (cont in comments)

I don‘t read a lot of #graphicnovels but these two have been on my radar lately. The tagged book is a #blameitonlitsy and because the updated story of Snow White in Jazz Age and Depression-era New York City sounds alluring.
Anya‘s Ghost is because Gaiman endorsed it. 😁💜
@TheFunkyBookworm #YAWednesday then there is this Author she has several graphic books that are great 😋📖
@TheFunkyBookworm #YAWednesday they just turned this into a graphic novel should be interesting although dealing with sensitive and serious subjects this as a graphic novel could reach those high school girls struggle to communicate
I found Rickety Stitch and the Gelatinous Goo earlier this year. It's a fun, adventure fantasy about finding out who you are. It may look a little like it's aimed at kids, but it is young adult. With the themes and subject matter, middle school is fine I think.

I absolutely loved Roller Girl. Such a great example of showing young women as strong, tough and determined and focused on things other than boys.

I loved this graphic novel about a young girl who falls down a well and meets a ghost who resides there. Anya‘s struggles with school and her Russian immigrant family ring true, and the story goes places I really didn‘t expect. @TheFunkyBookworm Your male students should not be dissuaded by the female protagonist—I think this is a book anyone could enjoy!

This is part of a series and was winner (or honor) of the Pura Belpré award, I don‘t recall what year.
Here is a link to an article I found back in May, I think!
