The Hate You Give by Angie Thomas
This may be one of the most powerful books of the decade, which deals with themes of race and community in a moving way that will speak to any teen. This book is an award winner and one for both parents and their children.
The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros
This book is a series of short writings surrounding the experiences of Esperanza Cordero, a Latina girl living in Chicago. It will take readers along a coming-of-age story that explores happiness, heartbreak and everything in between.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon
This novel centers around a boy with autism (自闭症) and a mystery that the readers get to experience from the viewpoint of Christopher John Francis Boone. He doesn’t understand human emotion, and living this mystery through this angle is a thoughtful way for teens to understand the ways in which people can differ yet also be the same.
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’ Engle
Though this book recently became popular again due to the release of the movie version, the movie is not a substitute for this beautiful story about family and the process of embracing who you truly are through the angle of space and time exploration.
