Gennifer Choldenko recommends
Gut Reaction (2024)
Kirby Larson and Quinn Wyatt
"Great British Baking Show meets Guts by Raina Telgemeier. Entertaining and informative. Really put me inside the mind of a level-headed fourteen-year-old forced to deal with one awkward and humiliating situation after another."
Muffled (2020)
Jennifer Gennari
"A sweet book that packs a quiet punch. Readers will feel for quiet Amelia as she fights to find her place in a noisy world."
