Welcome to the challenge, Kat. Feel free to ask for recommendations for any of the categories if you need them.

Great list of books, thanks for the recommendations as well. I recently ordered one of them, Water By The Spoonful by Quiara Alegría Hudes. I read about it at https://freebooksummary.com/category/... and immediately knew I had to read it. And now, after reading about it here and seeing it on this list, I wanted to read it even more. I'm looking forward to it!
