Anger is Gift- Mark Oshiro
A story of resilience and loss, love and family, Mark Oshiro’s Anger is a Gift testifies to the vulnerability and strength of a community living within a system of oppression.
Six years ago, Moss Jefferies’ father was murdered by an Oakland police officer. Along with losing a parent, the media’s vilification of his father and lack of accountability has left Moss with near crippling panic attacks.
Now, in his sophomore year of high school, Moss and his fellow classmates find themselves increasingly treated like criminals by their own school. New rules. Random locker searches. Constant intimidation and Oakland Police Department stationed in their halls. Despite their youth, the students decide to organize and push back against the administration.
When tensions hit a fever pitch and tragedy strikes, Moss must face a difficult choice: give in to fear and hate or realize that anger can actually be a gift.
Little Monsters – Kara Thomas
« À un moment donné, toutes les petites filles grandissent et s’abîment. »
Kacey vient d’emménager à Broken Falls avec son père, et c’est une nouvelle vie qui commence pour elle. Tout le monde ici est si gentil. Elle a même été accueillie à bras ouverts par de nouvelles amies, Bailey et Jade. Raison pour laquelle cela lui paraît si bizarre quand ces dernières commencent à se montrer distantes. Et lorsqu’elle n’est pas invitée à la plus grosse soirée de l’année, elle n’a pas vraiment l’impression qu’il s’agit d’un accident.
Mais Kacey ne pourra jamais en demander la raison, car après la fête Bailey disparaît. Soudain, Broken Falls ne semble plus si accueillant. Surtout quand tout le monde devient méfiant envers elle, la nouvelle.
Kacey est sur le point d’apprendre deux choses très importantes : parfois, les apparences peuvent se révéler trompeuses. Et parfois, quand on est la nouvelle, il ne faut faire confiance à personne.
