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.

Grace Banker and Her Hello Girls Answer the Call by Claudia Friddell & Elizabeth Baddeley
This is a surprise historical event that not many people know about. Well documented based on a great grandmother and lots of primary resources to tell an amazing tale of unsung heroes of World War I. Decades before cell phones and smart phones, operators ran switchboards to connect parties on the phone. These young women braved the war front in France to help orders/information get moved from one battle front to another. I nominated this for CYRM picture book for older readers this next year.
