Internment by Samira Ahmed – our 8th grade teacher feels it may be higher level for some of her students.

Ditto what Casey said -

Also add -
Orleans by Sherri Smith
Skyhunter by Marie Lu
Want by Cindy Pon
Dread Nation - a current HS Nutmeg nominee, but would be fine for 8th graders

Good Luck Girls deals with girls being sold into prostitution and being marked/tatooed - not sure what your parent community would think of that topic in the beginning.  It's not graphic - but present.

Hello everyone!
I have a specific request from a teacher in my school and hoping you can help.
She is looking for recommendations for dystopian books, published in the past few years, at an 8th grade level - preferably by a BIPOC author. Any ideas?
Thanks!!
