A Million Junes

by Emily Henry

A beautiful mix of magic, adventure and romance found in unlikely places. June must question everything she knows about her family and the father she adored, and she must decide whether it’s finally time for her to let go of ancient feuds to find a future.

Stamped

by Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi

"This is NOT a history book.

This is a book about the here and now.

A book to help us better understand why we are where we are."

​

So begins award-winning writer Jason Reynolds, in this young adult remix of the National Book Award-winning Stamped From the Beginning. Fast paced and engaging, Stamped shines a light on some of the most insidious forms of racist ideas.
