Subject: [aisle] Passion novels


I feel like this has been asked before but a search isn’t turning anything up for me.

Any suggestions for 9th grade readers…  books where the main character has a passion to pursue?



So far we’ve come up with/had suggested to us:



DJ Rising - music

Gospel according to Larry - anti-consumerism

Running dream - running

Confusion of Laurel Graham - conservation/photography

With the Fire on High - cooking

The Poet X - writing (written in verse)

Love, hate, and other filters - filmmaking

Cold Day in the Sun - hockey (female athlete)

The Final Four - basketball

Solo by Kwame Alexander

Furia by Yamile Saied Méndez

Grown by Tiffany Jackson

After the Shot Drops by Randy Ribay



I’ve not read all these myself so please don’t hesitate to say so if you don’t think one fits the theme.
