In this brilliant sequel to Openly Straight, Ben finds his way, his voice, and his love as Konigsberg continues the tale with this beautifully raw and complex addition to the burgeoning body of LGBTQ YA literature. #LibrariesRRock #RRockReviewHS ​  |   @billkonigsberg ,  @AALBooks

Jones’ team of creators artfully navigates a very heavy topic in a multifaceted approach that refuses to oversimplify or reduce down to a FEW talking points. Bravo! #LibrariesRRock #RRockReviewsHS ​ #MaverickList #yartxla   |   @LEEandLOW ,  @PoetTonyMedina

In this 2019 #MaverickList honoree,  @strangelykatie creates a gentle world in which miniature dragons have more in common with house cats than beasts of destruction. Check it out to see what kind of Tea Dragon you will be!  @OniPress   |   #CETReviews #RRockReviewsMS #RRockReviewsHS

With messaging, more subtle than the original,  @MollyOstertag 's sequel to Witch Boy enriches the series premise and strengthens the characterization of the denizens--making it clear that this tale is more than a one-off.  #CETReviews #RockReviewsMS #RockReviewsHS   |   @GraphixBooks

In this 2020 #MaverickList nominee, fans of middlegrade, slice-of-life realistic fiction with female strong protagonists will find a new love in this modernization of an old classic.  #CETReviews   #RockReviewsHS   #RockReviewsMS   |   @ndgoarts ,  @littlebrown

Rarely have I read a book so real and laughed so hard! As  @JerryCraft sugar coats nothing without seeming attacking, this title is skillfully and beautifully balanced. #weneeddiversecomics #CETReviews #RRockReviewsHS #RRockReviewsMS #MaverickList   |   @HarperCollinsCh ,  @LibrariesRRock
