Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme (that will help me remember what to buy for my library) that's hosted by Wishful Endings. It's based off the weekly meme Waiting on Wednesday that was hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
Boy I can't wait to read
Jasmine and Chelsea are
sick of the way women are treated even at their progressive NYC high
school, so they decide to start a Women's Rights Club. They post
everything online—poems, essays, videos of Chelsea performing her
poetry, and Jasmine's response to the racial macroaggressions she
experiences—and soon they go viral. But with such positive support, the
club is also targeted by online trolls. When things escalate, the
principal shuts the club down. Jasmine and Chelsea will risk everything
for their voices—and those of other young women—to be heard.

I'm a big Renee Watson fan! See my review of Piecing Me Together as proof. I've also been on the lookout for more middle grade novels and books for younger teens and I get a feeling I'm going to love this!
I saw mention of this one the other day and it caught my attention. I haven't read either author before, but this does sound good! My daughter is a little young for this yet, but I definitely think it should be in her (and mine--because who are we kidding?!) library to read. Thank you for sharing! I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThis will be my first book by Ellen Hagan, but I loved reading Renee Watson's last book. It'll be lovely if you and your daughter can read this together. I love when parents and children can do that! Thank for commenting and Happy Thanksgiving!
DeleteI put this immediately on my TBR when it was announced. I love girl power books and books set in NYC. Sounds like it will be fantastic!
ReplyDeleteYes! Girl empowerment books are always in high demand as far as I'm concerned. This should be a great edition to my library. Thanks for commenting!
DeleteOooh! I love the sound of this book! Great pick!

ReplyDeleteCheck out my Wednesday post
I loved Piecing Me Together. The girl/ female identifying book group at my town high school is about to read it and they've asked me to join. I can't wait.
