These are just some of NEA's recommended books for Read Across America

Mods: Putting this in Politics because I'm not sure how else to label it.


Julian is a Mermaid:  After seeing three women spectacularly dressed up as mermaids, Julián (a boy) makes his own mermaid costume from Abuela’s curtain and potted fern. What will she think of the mess—and of Julián the mermaid?


Americanized Rebel Without a Green Card: Understand the hurdles Sara and her family faced to rebuild their lives after fleeing Iran and the anxiety that being an undocumented immigrant added to her awkward teenage years.


The Prince and the Dressmaker:  By day, Prince Sebastian is heir to the throne; by night, he’s the fashionable Lady Crystallia made all the more fabulous by Frances, his secret dressmaker.


The 57 Bus:  The true story of an agender teen who was set on fire by another teen while riding a bus in Oakland, California.


I am Not Your Perfect Mexian Daughter:  After the death of her dutiful older sister, Olga, rebellious Julia deals with her family’s grief and the discovery of her sister’s secret double life.


Ghost Boys:  The dead are never gone, and the spirits of murdered African-American boys have a mission to continue on and bear witness.


The Love and Lives and Rauhsana Ali: After Rukhsana’s conservative Muslim parents catch her kissing her girlfriend Ariana, they whisk her away to Bangladesh and a world of tradition and arranged marriages.
