29 Dates, by Melissa de La Cruz
Jisu’s traditional South Korean parents are concerned by what they see as her lack of attention to her
schoolwork and her future. Working with Seoul’s premiere matchmaker to find the right boyfriend is
one step toward ensuring Jisu’s success, and going on the recommended dates is Jisu’s compromise to
please her parents while finding space to figure out her own dreams. But when she flubs a test then
skips out on a date to spend time with friends, her fed-up parents shock her by shipping her off to a
private school in San Francisco. Where she’ll have the opportunity to shine academically—and be set up
on more dates!

perspectives, when Sybella discovers there is another trained assassin from St. Mortain’s convent deep

This is the highly anticipated second novel by Angie Thomas, the author of the #1 New York
Times bestselling, award-winning The Hate U Give.
Sixteen-year-old Bri wants to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. Or at least win her first battle.
As the daughter of an underground hip hop legend who died right before he hit big, Bri’s got massive
shoes to fill.
But it’s hard to get your come up when you’re labeled a hoodlum at school, and your fridge at home is
empty after your mom loses her job. So Bri pours her anger and frustration into her first song, which
goes viral…for all the wrong reasons.

Watch Us Rise, by Renee Watson and Ellen Hagan
Jasmine and Chelsea are best friends on a mission–they’re sick of the way women are treated even at
their progressive NYC high school, so they decide to start a Women's Rights Club. They post their work
online–poems, essays, videos of Chelsea performing her poetry, and Jasmine's response to the racial
microaggressions she experiences–and soon they go viral. Jasmine and Chelsea will risk everything for
their voices–and those of other young women–to be heard.
