Freewater (2022)
Amina Luqman-Dawson
"With both stirring emotion and apparently effortless skill, Dawson braids the many compelling strands of this story into a stunning conclusion. A remarkable accomplishment - a sheer triumph of a book."

Obie Is Man Enough (2021)
Schuyler Bailar
"I just met Obie, and I love him SO MUCH. He shows us all how to face our scariest challenges with resolve, humor, grace, and help from those who care about us. A stunning and important book."

The Last Fallen Star (2021)
(Gifted Clans, book 1)
Graci Kim
"Reading The Last Fallen Star is like taking a course in Korean mythology taught by your favorite teacher ever--while riding a gigantic roller coaster beneath a sky filled with shooting stars! I loved following Riley's thrilling adventure, and pass the bulgogi tacos, please."
