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.

In The Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson by Betty Bao Lord
I loved this book. It reminded me when I taught English as a Second Language. Especially when the students were playing baseball and Shirley hears Run Home and she starts to end back to her apartment. Something similar happened when I was covering PE. It's a coming of age story that is endearing. Enjoy.
