Hi! I'm Amy and I've just set off on a journey towards reading twenty young adult novels/books (YAL) in the next few months. This endeavor is part of a graduate course that counts towards the completion of an MA in Teaching. 

I'm an educator who is currently working with struggling readers and writers. I believe that giving students choices in what they read--and texts that involve characters and authors they identify with--will help them become better readers and experience deeper meaning (comprehension). 

As an educator, I feel that it is my job to know the literature, the trends in literature, and current issues that relate to adolescents and children. Reading and analyzing texts that I would expect my students to read is one step towards doing my job a little better. I'm excited to start this journey! Thanks for stopping by!

Mapping Identity in Black Girl You Are Atlas

      I was immediately struck by the honesty of Watson's words and I could hear her voice ring through them. She layers identity, history, pain, joy, and hope with each poem. This isn't solely a book of poems; rather, it's a compass for young people navigating what it means to carry the weight of expectations, the burden of stereotypes, and the beauty of self-discovery.  Summary     Black Girl You Are Atlas is a YA poetry collection of free verse, prose, and autobiographical reflections by Renee Watson that explores the experiences of Black girls navigating, strength, vulnerability, resilience, and identity. Watson gives voice to the layered joys, sorrows, expectations, and discoveries of Black girlhood. Her poetry is personal as she reflects on her own coming of age that includes experiences of racism, colorism, grief, friendship, family, and pressures placed on Black girls to be "strong." There are mirrors or windows, depending on the reader; both which ...

A Newer Timeless YA Classic: Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

  Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe     I thought Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe was such a heartwarming novel that tackled the theme of friendship--more specifically young men coming of age--so beautifully. The story follows two Mexican-American teenagers as they build their new friendship while navigating their identities, family life, and adolescence. The plot begins with the two main characters, Ari and Dante meeting at a public pool. At first, they seem like opposites but soon find many connections and commonalities. The story is an intimate look into a friendship between two boys, which is a breath of fresh air in a world where society pushes false ideals about what it means to be a "man." by Benjamin Alire S รก enz Published 2012 Genre(s): Young Adult(YAL)Novel, realistic fiction, and bildungsroman/coming-of-age 359 pages     I chose to add Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe to my read...

This Novel is Gold! Feminism and Resistance in The Gilded Ones

RE:  The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna      I chose to read The Gilded Ones because the novel has themes of patriarchy and feminism and because the main character/protagonist is a Black young woman, which is not often the case in most novels and films.  Summary The Gilded Ones is a story set in the fictional kingdom of Otera, where young women must participate in a blood ritual at sixteen years old to determine their purity. The protagonist, Deka hopes to pass the test of the ritual in order to be accepted by her village and marry; however, her blood runs gold instead of red so she is declared impure and sentenced to death. In her imprisonment she is repeatedly killed but always wakes up alive and healed. A mysterious woman, Deka refers to as “White Hands” ends up coming to the prison to recruit her to train and fight in the army known as “alaki.” During her training, Deka learns more about Otera’s hidden history and forges allies that help her determine whether...
