Warga tells a beautiful story about fitting in when you only stand out. Yet, our narrator Jude wants to stand out. But not because she is “weird” (aka: Muslim, does not speak English well) but because she belongs. Jude finds a way to balance all the parts that make her, Jude: the brave girl, the sister, the proud daughter, the friend and cousin. ~ Reviewed by Jeanette

Irréelle is a perfectly imperfect girl magicked into being by the villainous imagination of Miss Vesper and the help of some bone dust. All Irréelle wants is to be made real. But at what cost? Kassner's debut is a haunting tale of magic and graveyards, sure to delight fans of all things spooky. Though the story is rich with darkness its theme of friendship woven throughout casts a bright light, creating a masterful work full of heart. ~ Reviewed by Hanna Yost

Prose poems created by Engle are romantic in places and always serious with her pride in her heritage. And while history tends to lump all “Hispanic peoples” into one group, Engle shows how they are separate, how interactions occurred and how Moctezuma’s great-granddaughter could also be Cortez’s great-granddaughter. Each poem shows how history has repeated itself multiple times but here are always new pieces as well. You see the people and places presented and see the connections of then and now. Also, the connections of Spanish and English history are touched on. And if you’ve read her Jazz Owls a familiar face makes an appearance. ~ Reviewed by Jeantte
