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.

Reaching Out by Francisco Jimenez
The previous two books have been amazing and this too is an inspiration. His parents were migrant workers harvesting crops all over California. Insightful to what life can be like for those work hard for everything they need to earn. Also moving on to go to college and being away from your family can be the learning experience as well. Great book to read!
