Gem & Dixie by
Sara Zarr
"Gem has never
known what it is to have security. She's never known an adult she can truly
rely on. But the one constant in her life has been Dixie. Gem grew up taking
care of her sister when no one else could: not their mother, whose issues make
it hard for her to keep food on the table, and definitely not their father,
whose intermittent presence is the only thing worse than his frequent absence.
Even as Gem and Dixie have grown apart, they've always had each other. When
their dad returns home for the first time in years and tries to insert himself
back into their lives, Gem finds herself with an unexpected opportunity: three
days with Dixie -- on their own in Seattle and beyond. But this short trip soon
becomes something more, as Gem discovers that to save herself, she may have to
sever the one bond she's tried so hard to keep." –WorldCat

The Hate U Give by
Angie Thomas
“Sixteen-year-old
Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives
and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between
these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her
childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was
unarmed. Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him
a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the
streets in Khalil's name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate
Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what really went down
that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr. But what
Starr does-or does not-say could upend her community. It could also endanger
her life.” –WorldCat
