The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo



Family dysfunction, relationships that are challenging.  Looking for a mother who will help her grow up instead of tearing her down.  Boys who harass girls.  How does she communicate with her family?  Especially when her words are burned up.  It's a good read.  Audio book also very good.
Fine for high school libraries.  Just be aware, it can be painfully true.
