All-American Muslim Girl
By Nadine Jolie-Courtney
Straight-A student, Allie has it all going for her. When she witnesses Islamophobia in her small town and across the nation, she decides to embrace her Muslim faith—study, practice it, and even face misunderstanding for it. Who is Allie, if she sheds the façade of the “perfect” all-American girl?
When a police officer shoots and kills an unarmed thirteen-year-old girl, a community is thrown into upheaval. The killing leads to unrest, a growing movement to protest the senseless taking of black lives, and the arrival of white supremacist counter demonstrators.
The How & the Why
By Cynthia Hand
Cassandra has the best parents a girl could ask for. She has everything she needs—but she has questions, too. Questions her adoptive parents can’t answer, no matter how much they love her. Eighteen years ago, someone wrote Cass a series of letters. And they may just hold the answers Cass has been searching for.
