Watch Us Rise by Ellen Hagan, Renée Watson
5.0

I loved this story of teen activists in New York! Their friendship feels so real, as do their struggles. This is a great one to make activists feel supported and seen, and might just also help some other readers understand "what's the big deal" about stuff like offensive Halloween costumes or racist micro-aggressions from teachers. Very timely and fresh, with such strong character voices.
