Books in the Mail:
My Heart and Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga – This is a YA Diversity Book Club pick, and it’s about two teens with a suicide pact.
The Art of Being Normal by Lisa Williamson – This UK book is about friendship, love and gender issues and features a transgender protagonist.
The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Lesley Walton – This Morris nominee is about a girl who is born with wings who just wants to fit in. I’m reading this now and it’s very unique, with lovely writing.
