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.

Shadowshaper by Daniel Jose Older
I do like this story. It' brings in legends and magic in a hispanic Caribbean culture. I appreciate that art, music and stories can create magic. Culture and respect to elder's knowledge are woven into the story set in a contemporary time frame. It's an easy story for reluctant readers to give it a read. Enjoy.
