Pam Muñoz Ryan recommends

Louder Than Hunger (2024)
John Schu
"Jake's story is compelling, important, and filled with vulnerability and love - a book with a raw and unflinching honesty. There are readers whose hearts and minds will be opened by this story. For some, it will save their lives."

Big Tree (2023)
Brian Selznick
"Grand in scope, yet intimate and tender. Quintessential Selznick. A triumph!"

Wildoak (2022)
C C Harrington
"This tender and hopeful story, with a whisper of magical realism, reminds the reader that everyone struggles with something. C.C. Harrington's prose is beautiful, and she writes with a deep affection for the natural world. Wildoak reads like a classic. I loved it."
