Элизабет Асеведо4.3 Уникальный роман в стихах об обретении собственного голоса.
Главной героине Сиомаре Батисте, имя которой переводится как «та, что готова к войне», почти 16 лет. С рождения ей говорят: «С тобой ох как непросто». Сиомара из патриархальной доминиканской семьи, что накладывает глубокий отпечаток на ее воспитании и взаимоотношениях с родителями. «Поэт Икс» — книга, написанная как поэтический дневник Сиомары. Перелистывая страницы, мы будто погружаемся в трудный, противоречивый, саднящий мир девушки-подростка, которая мучительно ищет собственный голос. И находит его, несмотря на скепсис друзей, непонимание родителей и кризис веры.
В тонкой современной лирике раскрыты проблемы, волнующие современных девушек, — от объективизации среди сверстников мужского пола до непонимания в семье и разочарования в традиционных установках.
Мандей не пришла в школу. Ни на этой неделе. Ни на следующей. Исчезла, не сказав ничего даже Клодии – своей лучшей подруге. А ведь они ближе чем сестры – между ними нет и не было никаких секретов. Тем более, Мандей никогда не бросила бы ее вот так – после той фотографии и сплетен, один на один с заклятыми врагами... Учителям и социальным службам все равно, от родителей помощи не дождешься… Никто даже не помнит, когда девушку видели в последний раз. Кажется, только Клодия понимает, что случилось нечто ужасное. Она должна найти подругу, пока не стало слишком поздно… Пронзительный психологический триллер о дружбе, жестокости, унижении и травмирующих последствиях правды. В чем тайна исчезновения девушки? И почему никто ничего не замечает?

После трагедии Ли отправляется на Тайвань, чтобы встретиться с бабушкой и дедушкой, которых она никогда не видела. Ли верит, что именно здесь найдет свою мать-птицу. И именно здесь ей предстоит столкнуться с призраками прошлого и раскрыть тайны, окутывающие ее семью много лет.
Лавируя между реальностью и потусторонним, прошлым и настоящим, дружбой и любовью, надеждой и отчаянием, «Ослепительный цвет будущего» — роман, который повествует о том, как обрести себя, потеряв самого близкого на свете человека.

It's 1947, and India, newly independent of British rule, has been separated into two countries: Pakistan and India. The divide has created much tension between Hindus and Muslims, and hundreds of thousands are killed crossing borders.
Half-Muslim, half-Hindu twelve-year-old Nisha doesn't know where she belongs, or what her country is anymore. When Papa decides it's too dangerous to stay in what is now Pakistan, Nisha and her family become refugees and embark first by train but later on foot to reach her new home. The journey is long, difficult, and dangerous, and after losing her mother as a baby, Nisha can't imagine losing her homeland, too. But even if her country has been ripped apart, Nisha still believes in the possibility of putting herself back together.
Дэвид Боулс0.0 An award-winning novel in verse about a boy who navigates the start of seventh grade and life growing up on the border the only way that feels right--through poetry.
They call him Güero because of his red hair, pale skin, and freckles. Sometimes people only go off of what they see. Like the Mexican boxer Canelo Álvarez, twelve-year-old Güero is puro mexicano. He feels at home on both sides of the river, speaking Spanish or English. Güero is also a reader, gamer, and musician who runs with a squad of misfits called Los Bobbys. Together, they joke around and talk about their expanding world, which now includes girls. (Don't cross Joanna--she's tough as nails.)
Güero faces the start of seventh grade with heart and smarts, his family's traditions, and his trusty accordion. And when life gets tough for this Mexican American border kid, he knows what to do: He writes poetry.
Honoring multiple poetic traditions, They Call Me Güero is a classic in the making and the recipient of a Pura Belpré Honor, a Tomás Rivera Mexican American Children's Book Award, a Claudia Lewis Award for Excellence in Poetry, and a Walter Dean Myers Honor.
