A book worth a look
When an anonymous texter “Aces” begins to share deep secrets about the students at Niveus Private Academy, Devon and Chiamaka notice that they are the only two Black students in the whole school and the ones being targeted by Aces. Devon and Chi are different in many ways – Devon is quiet, laid back, and interested in music, while Chi is popular, confident, and logical; however, they share the same race which causes them to team up and investigate Aces before their deepest secrets are revealed. Like a mixture of ‘Gossip Girl’ and ‘Get Out’, the story is fast-paced and binge-worthy. Devon and Chi have to battle against racism and homophobia; and they soon discover the horrible lies of their school. Find it here!

Life in a small Appalachian town is not easy. Cash lost his mother to an opioid addiction and his Papaw is dying slowly from emphysema. Dodging drug dealers and watching out for his best friend, Delaney, is second nature. Cash has been spending his summer mowing lawns while Delaney works at Dairy Queen. When Delaney manages to get both of them full rides to an elite prep school in Connecticut, Cash is conflicted. He is pulled between wanting to stay with & protect Delaney, and remaining behind to love & care for the grandparents who raised him. Check out this novel full of heart!
