My Project

Hello - I am looking to add some new dystopian novels for our class - to bring more diversity into the group . We have great book sets now but many are classics. There is a need to add more contemporary titles which feature diverse characters. Scythe by Shusterman features two people of color characters and Pet is the story of a trans girl who is hunting a monster. I am excited to bring these titles to our class. We are building a diverse book clubs for future students. Thanks!
