[CASL-L] Of Mice and Men Question

[Lynn Barker Steinmayer]

When I was the Greatest was an amazing story and I thought the character 
with Tourette's Syndrome was written well

I was speaking with my children's coordinator and some that you might 
want to look into are the following:

We Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozoi

Juliet Takes a Breath by Gabby Rivera

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
