Padma Venkatraman recommends

We Are Not From Here (2020)
Jenny Torres Sanchez
"An incredibly powerful, soul-searing YA. Important and necessary.... I could not put this book down."

Malcolm and Me (2020)
Robin Farmer
"Farmer has created a timely and relevant story, peopled with realistic characters. Many readers will discover much about themselves alongside Roberta as they travel with her on her journey of self-discovery. We need more characters--in books and in real life--as strong and as willing to speak up as Roberta is."
