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 Sixties Trilogy Anthem by Deborah Wiles
This is a brilliant story. Each section of the book has newspapers, magazines, quotes and photos to set up each part of the story. Actually primary resources. Then the chapters are set up by a music title from the 1968 with information about the music and then the story picks up. I had Alexa from Amazon play the music. The story is brilliant and perfect. I'm getting this for my high school library. This is when the Vietnam War is going on. In this story, we meet various soldiers, civil rights, hippies, communes and more. Such a fantastic story.
