Teen Titans: Beast Boy by Kami Garcia
Sequel to Raven and introduction to our favorite green shape-shifter, Beast Boy, this graphic novel expands on what we know about Beast Boy from the tv show and DC comics. We learn about how Beast Boy discovers his powers, as well as what circumstances lead to eventually meeting Raven. The artwork is just as stunning as the first book, if not expanded in color and style. This book engages with topics such as animal activism, high school popularity, and body dysmorphia.

Teen Titans: Raven by Kami Garcia
As a fan of the classic Teen Titans animated tv show I grew up with in the 2000s, I was very excited to read the first in this graphic novel series. It elaborates on the origin of Raven, a sort of dark-sorceress, half demon superhero who has lost her memory in a car crash with her mother and is rediscovering herself for the second time. The artwork is stunning and original, and the story itself left me very eager to read the next books in the series, Beast Boy, Beast Boy Loves Raven, and Robin. This book engages with topics such as grief, super powers, and self discovery.

Teen Book Review – The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Recently I read the book The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. In this book the main character, Hazel, is suffering from a type of lung cancer. In the beginning of the book she is depressed from living a life with a terminal illness. But throughout this book she progresses and grows in who she is and forms strong relationships. While this book is a romance, it is very beautifully written.

Teen Book Review – Marching For Freedom by Elizabeth Partridge
I would give Marching for Freedom five stars and highly recommend it. The story of the marchers is really inspiring and made more real to the reader through personal stories, photos, and song lyrics. I am very thankful for the sacrifices of the people in the story. Put this book on your reading list!
