Summer is fast approaching and if you have a high school reader, you might be looking for new titles to engage them this summer. Librarian, historian, and author Alexandria Brown has allowed us to share their recommended lists to help make that easier! Per their blog*:
As a high school librarian, offering reading recommendations for students is one of my favorite parts of my job. These lists are for parents, library workers, and teen readers...
I created these lists through an alchemy involving age of the protagonists, themes, genre, tone, complexity, reader skill/comfortability level, events and topics a student will likely encounter in their studies during the school year, and books they are unlikely to read for school. I also tried to pick materials that published in the last few years or will be published by June 2021. Preference to #ownvoices and marginalized authors.
Below you'll find links to their lists broken up by grade level.
Whether you know an avid reader who always seems to be running out of books, or someone who is a bit harder to find a book for, you're likely to find a good title on these lists! And if you don't, know you can always come in to the library and ask for our recommendations in person!
*The name of Brown's blog is a tongue in cheek reference to an episode of the sitcom Parks and Recreation and includes a swear word.
