As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

The Astonishing life of Octavian Nothing Traitor to the Nation: The Pox Party by M. T. Anderson
This story was chilling. Hard to read in a good kind of way. M.T. Anderson was brilliant! The story is woven with facts and fiction, emotion and logic. It is strange and insane and yet you must keep reading. When you finish reading, it stays with you. Go back to before the American Revolution, and see what was done in the name of science.
