📖Recommend for Grades 9 and up📖
edited by Lamer Giles
A
collection of diverse short stories written by young adult authors including Jason
Reynolds, Melissa De La Cruz, Nicola Yoon, and its editor Lamer Giles. These
stories are diverse in genre (realistic fiction, historical fiction, etc.),
protagonists (various races, ethnicities, religions, abilities, and sexual
orientations), and style (prose, graphic novel and play).
For those
who enjoy reading, but find themselves too busy with school to read a full
length novel, this collection of short stories is one to pick up. Readers can
read the entire collection or only those that interest them. Some readers may
want to skip certain stories if they are uncomfortable with the topic as well.
Every reader though is likely to find a story they find wonderful and enjoyable.

Book Review - Totally Middle School
📖Recommend for Grades 6 and up📖
edited by Betsy Groban
Lois Lowry, Katherine Paterson,
Linda Sue Park, Gary D. Schmidt, and more shares stories of middle school and
those of middle school age. Some stories are in prose, while others are in
formats such as comic panels or poems. The characters and themes are also
diverse despite the overall theme of middle school.
If
you find yourself too busy to read a full-length novel with school going on,
you may want to consider this collection of short stories. You don’t have to
read them all and only read the ones that interest you. In fact, some stories
are better off skipped over. However, Lois Lowry’s “Letters” Hena Khan's “How to Make
S’mores”, and "TBH I Need HELP!!" by Katherine Paterson and Jordan Paterson are must-reads. The book is broken down into three sections
Family, Friends and Fitting In, and Finding Yourself, so readers can get an
idea about what the stories are about.

in America? This book brings together many short stories that answer that
question. From dreaming up the perfect sandwich to buy from the bodega, dealing
