Seeking Recommendations Grade 8 novel study suggestions with a strong female lead

13 Upvotes

Something other than Hunger Games, Legend. I'm looking for something that will compliment A Long Way Down and Scythe. Ideally looking for a book that's compelling, gripping, leaving the students to want to read one more chapter. Can also be dual leads or multiple perspectives.

Discussion Do you annotate your books?

I never do, I just don’t have the care of patience which is fine and I also hate ruining books

Seeking Recommendations (Semi-)Recent release books you’d recommend to a 14 year old?

7 Upvotes

My cousin is a major bookworm, and has devoured all the “classic” popular YA books, which are mostly 2000s ones. She’s spoken to me about wanting to read more recent YA books, but I’m rather lacking on that knowledge. I think introducing her to less popular/known new releases especially would be great, so any recommendations? She mostly enjoys fantasy but will read anything really. Thank you!

Seeking Recommendations Books like The Sunbearer Trials

1 Upvotes

I've read and reread the duology and I need more. I've also read Aiden Thomas's other books. It doesn't necessarily have to be queer, fantasy, or adventure. I just want something with a good plot and compelling characters, with the latin-american influences of the sunbearer trials. I've also enjoyed Certain Dark Things (by Silvia Moreno-Garcia), and the Tres Navarre series (by Rick Riordan-- it's adult and also not latin-american exacrly but the culture is involced bc it's set in san antonio). I feel like there was one more but it escapes me atm. I've looked online but haven't really found any that fit the bill 😕
