[aisle] HS Book Club Group Reads?

Thu Mar 24 10:29:31 CDT 2022

Our high school book club really enjoyed Field Guide as well. I would also
recommend *With the Fire on High* or *Clap When You Land* or *The Poet X* by
Elizabeth Acevedo. The last two are in verse, and even better if you can
get the audiobook.
