One of my scholars walked right into class and finished the last 10 pages and cried. The 57 Bus has been on my list for a while but seeing her cry and the emotions while retelling the story to me has me pushing this up the TBR.

pickTwo teens on the opposite side of a horrific event, Sasha is asleep on the bus when Richard sets their skirt on fire. Was this a teenage prank gone awry? A serious hate crime? Somewhere in between? This book delved in both of their lives before and after the incident in a way that is both balanced and compassionate.
Sitting outside for a little before it gets dark.
Sitting out in the sun reading. Its good for the soul.
Currently reading this banned books. I hate that they ban books. I think its so stupid to ban them. If you dont like a book then dont read them and dont buy them. Simple solution.
Thank you so much @catiewithac I actually wanted to get some banned books. I will dive into this one as soon as I can. I have some library and an ARC that I have to read first then I will read it. But Im very excited.
so-soEnlightening upon ptsd responses and how they follow an 8-grader having been violently assaulted because of her orna while with an Iranian fried. It tried to explain her family's opposition to her wearing a hijab instead and desire to connect to Islam, yet that felt disconnected. I didn‘t understand why she went from orna to hijab. Same with families Bangladesh tragic history. Many portions confused me, history wise. Colorful emotions #inclusive
pickA Muslim teen gains notoriety for bringing a “bomb” to school (it‘s a jet pack for his Halloween costume), then goes missing. Safiyeh is at a different school, but experiences prejudice escalating and wants to focus attention on Jawad‘s disappearance. Inspired by a historic real story, but configured for our era, this is terrific.
