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.

Libertie by Kaitlyn Greenidge
Sigh. I really tried to like it and I didn't. It's marketed as Young Adult but there are some scenes that I wouldn't want in the library as Libertie gets sexual education. Over all the story didn't work well. You read the book in her view and it's a bit muddled. There were times, I wanted to stop reading but I wanted to be fair and finish the book. I am passing on this book. I was hoping it would be a good book to add to my school library. The story is to all over the place for me and at times felt forced.
