The Story of My Anger
by Jasminne Mendez
Middle School, High School Dial 336 pp.
9/25 9780593531877 $19.99
Yuli confronts issues of book banning and racist theater casting in her Texas high school. The Black and Dominican American teen and her friends express themselves through a guerilla theater club, and as conflicts escalate, so does Yuli’s anger. Mendez uses varied formats, including verse and scenes written like playscripts, to create an emotional, accessible, and timely story. SHOSHANA FLAX
