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.

Butterfly Yellow by Thanhha Lai
This is a beautiful story filled with pain and joy, patience and love. A little boy is mistakenly sent to America. A dangerous journey, years later filled with pirates and death are entwined with the long awaited family reunion. A young man dreams to be a cowboy and rodeo hero but really has no idea what that all entails goes on his own journey. A sister and a cowboy go in search of a brother. It's a good read. Also good audio book. Good one to add to the high school library. Well crafted.
