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 Weight of Our Sky by Hanna Alkaf
Wow. The author has talked to many people who have survived this violent time. So many people were killed that the government had to create a mass burial. Melati has a mental condition, formed after the death of her father, a policeman killed on duty. Her mother is a nurse. There is a lot of violence in this story. This story was written in a way that it takes you there back in time. With the tread of music to tie it all together. History becomes alive in this very scary time. Get this one for your high school library.
