The Hispanic and African American authors on this list are heralded for creating richly vivid stories that quickly enrapture Middle School students. As we use them in Book Clubs and Readers/Writers' Workshop, students will discuss and process how theme, text-specific vocabulary, author's craft, and characterization create an avenue through which they can become independent, rather than dependent readers, writers, and thinkers. They learn how to navigate new ideas for themselves while textualizing their own thinking through illustrated journals. When students pick up a book that looks like them or where they come from, it creates a natural outgrowth of self-confidence as active owners of their learning.
