All That Shines (2023)
Ellen Hagan
"In evocative and poignant language, Ellen Hagan captures the beauty of community and the budding aspects of young love with delicate poetry, but it's her gorgeous backdrop of a sprawling Kentucky that truly makes this novel-in-verse stand out. All That Shines delves into the ugliness of privilege and the power of renewal with Kentucky's rich landscape and music as a soundtrack, cementing this novel's place among the classics."
Lulu and Milagro's Search for Clarity (2022)
Angela Velez
"In a truly hilarious and heartwarming debut, author Angela Velez breaks out with a story of sisterly love, family secrets, and the roles forced on us at a young age. Lulu and Milagro's Search for Clarity is a laugh-out-loud, college road trip novel full of Catholic school hijinks. You'll fall in love and root for Lulu and Milagro!"
When We Make It (2021)
Elisabet Velasquez
"With verses that are unapologetically fierce and honest, Elisabet Velasquez captures the Brooklyn city streets with a Nuyorican vibe that can't be duplicated. When We Make it is the perfect, coming-of-age tale with rhythmic poetry that is certain to cement Velazquez as an exciting new young adult voice to celebrate."
