Sixteen-year-old idealist Indigo Washington, a student at Union High School in Philadelphia, dreams of becoming a filmmaker but also feels the pressure of her parents' expectations to find a more practical career. In the meantime, Indigo looks to her older sister, Marisol, and her friends Penny, Derek, and Boris to help her navigate the windy path of life. Heavy loads of schoolwork and extracurricular commitments keep Indigo away from her interest in filmmaking and from the school's Earth Day celebration. When she later learns that following the event, her nemesis, Emilia Valentina, has started going out with Derek Johnson, her tennis teammate and secret crush, Indigo is angry and upset. Pushed by her rebellious best friend, Penny Charleston, she decides to make a documentary about her classmates for the spring talent show. As the show approaches, however, drama among Indigo's friends increases. Indigo is caught between her friendship with Derek and her deeper feelings for him, bearing witness to Derek's duty to overcome the social obstacles that arise from growing up in one of Philadelphia's toughest neighborhoods. Following the trials and tribulations of a small group of teens at a Philadelphia high school, this young adult novel offers an intriguing ride through adolescence and urban youth culture.

Nadine Jolie Courtney's All-American Muslim Girl is a relevant, relatable story of being caught between two worlds, and the struggles and hard-won joys of finding your place. Allie Abraham has it all going for her—she’s a straight-A student, with good friends and a close-knit family, and she’s dating popular, sweet Wells Henderson. One problem: Wells’s father is Jack Henderson, America’s most famous conservative shock jock, and Allie hasn’t told Wells that her family is Muslim. It’s not like Allie’s religion is a secret. It’s just that her parents don’t practice, and raised her to keep it to herself. But as Allie witnesses Islamophobia in her small town and across the nation, she decides to embrace her faith—study, practice it, and even face misunderstanding for it. Who is Allie, if she sheds the façade of the “perfect” all-American girl?

“Joe Milan Jr. has rocketed himself into the literary stratosphere.” —Junot Diaz, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao Introducing a character as viscerally believable and unforgettable as any in fiction, The All-American is a triumph—full of energy, dark humor, suspense, and hard-won wisdom. Seventeen-year-old Bucky Yi knows nothing about his birth country of South Korea or his bio-dad’s disappearance; he can’t even pronounce his Korean name correctly. Running through the woods of rural Washington State with a tire tied to his waist, his sights are set on one all-American goal: to become a college football player. So when a misadventure with his adoptive family leads the U.S. government to deport him to South Korea, he’s forced to navigate an entirely foreign version of his life. One mishap leads to another, and as an outsider, Bucky has to fall back on not just his raw physical strength, but resources of character and attitude he didn’t know he had. In an expat bar in Seoul, in the bleak barracks of his Korean military, on a remote island where an erratic sergeant fights a shadow-war with North Korean spies, and in the remote town where he seeks out his drunken, indebted biological father, Bucky has to assemble the building blocks of a new language and stubbornly rebuild himself from scratch. That means managing his ego, insecurities, sexual desires, family legacies, and allegiances in order to make it back home—wherever that might be—and determine who he is to himself, who he is to others, and what kind of man he wants to become.
