Salt the Water (2023)
Candice Iloh
"Candice Iloh has painted a deeply moving portrait of Cerulean, a passionate and bright teen whose abrasive school life is in direct contrast to their loving and tender home life in the Bronx. Urban gardens serve as a poignant yet hopeful metaphor for the nurturing and care that young people need to navigate tumultuous cityscapes, public schools, and the fragile fault lines in their lives and in the world."

Everyone's Thinking It (2023)
Aleema Omotoni
"Brimming with high-stakes drama and a witty cast of both noble and nefarious characters, Everyone's Thinking It is a big-hearted, clever page-turner."

Dear Haiti, Love Alaine (2019)
Maika Moulite
"Remarkable, funny, and whip-smart."
