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 Ogress and the Orphans by Kelly Barnhill
The Ogress and the Orphans by Kelly Banhill is a perfect allegory of how mobs of people can worship a politician and believe every word they say. How kindness can make a difference. How people can be incited into a dangerous mob. A good allegory of the Nazi regime of a certain orange politician who incitied violence in a certain capital city. Yep I went down that road. It's a goo story just to read or listen to. Perfect for any school or public library. Hopefully some radical person doesn't try to ban this book. A good story with a lesson if you look for it. I plan on reading more Kelly Barnhill works.
