Some of my favorites? Beastly by Alex Finn is a modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast. Walter Dean Myers's Sunrise Over Fallujah tells the story of a teenager who after graduating from high school enlists in the Army and is deployed to Iraq. Lastly, and my personal favorite, Red Glass by Laura Resau, follows Sophie and her family who take in a 6 year old boy that crossed the Mexico/Arizona border one night with a coyote, losing his family in the process. When they find his family in Mexico, they hit the road with Sophie's aunt, her aunt's boyfriend, and his son in order to return Pedro to his family in their village.
