January 2021 5 Star Books!

The Assignment by Liza M. Wiemer (Young Adult) I received an ARC of this novel from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All I can say is: WOW! I could NOT put this book down. I had to know what happened! This was an important read and teens everywhere should be required to read it - teachers, too! Told from different points of view, this book addresses an assignment in high school that asks students to defend the Nazi perspective.  Warning: This book does have some language and it's hard to read in parts. There are several instances of hate speech and actions.  Purchase this book on Amazon here! Tristan Strong Destroys the World by Kwame Mbalia (Book 2) (Middle Grade) Sometimes sequels are disappointing, but this one wasn't! I may have enjoyed this one more than the first! I think my kids will be a little bummed out that there's not as much Gum Baby, but there's definitely a LOT of action and adventure! This series is a great way to learn about African folklore
