Heroine- Mindy McGinnis

“It’s kind of gritty, and I really like that it deals with addiction from the perspective of an athlete and someone who has issues with a medication she was prescribed. I feel like that's a different take on something that a lot of students aren’t used to hearing about.”

Tara Willen.
Thousand Words- Jennifer Brown

“It deals with a student who sends a picture she probably shouldn’t, and then the fallout on both her and the school community. I know a lot of students have cell phones and sometimes things happen, so I think it has really strong messaging.”

Tara Willen
13 Reasons Why- Jay Asher

“It was the first Young Adult book for me where I was like, wow, this is a true young adult book that everyone should read. It was a book that really shaped me and was really like groundbreaking stuff.”

Gabbi Weston
To Kill A Mockingbird- Harper Lee

“It is just one of those books that I think is a good book for students to reflect on.”
