[aisle] "Happy" Books for HS

[Katrina Bromann]

I'm not sure if a graphic novel would be acceptable, but I think "Dragon
Hoops" by Gene Luen Yang would be an awesome end of the year read. It has
the lighter format (but still lengthy) and upbeat tone, and yet it delves
into plenty of topics that would invite thoughtfulness and spark
discussion. I thought it was an excellent book!
