<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am putting together several outside reading lists for a teacher tackling the topic of injustice. She wants YA titles under two major categories:<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Here’s my need. I have gone through all my fiction titles and placed as many as I can think of into each category, although there is so much intersectionality and mash-up in many of these books. Can you all help me brain storm your favorite
YA titles that would fall into this category? The readers will be lower level but 10<sup>th</sup> and 11<sup>th</sup> graders so nothing too young, please.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks a million for helping my tired brain!<u></u><u></u></p>
