Maybe He Just Likes You by Barbara Dee
Recommended by Mrs. Hamel   
 
  Isn't it great when a boy, or several boys, take interest in you, wanting to give you hugs, etc.?  Not always.  In Maybe He Just Likes You, 7th grader Mila is happy - she has good friends and loves playing trumpet in the school band. But then some of the boys, 4 in particular that she refers to as "the basketball boys," start acting strangely.  They keep getting too close, bumping into her, trying to get hugs or touch her, and it makes her really uncomfortable.  Her friends react differently. One thinks the boys are flirting and she should feel complimented, another says she is overreacting and that she's not that popular, and a third wants her to report it to the principal (who also happens to be the boys' coach). Since most of these boys are also in band with her, one sitting right next to her, she is finding it hard to escape but is too embarrassed and confused to talk to any adults.  Are they flirting? Are they just joking? This is a story that is important for both girls and boys and all should read it to find out!  #MeToo

  With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo
  Suggested by Mrs. Hamel  
   
   Emoni Santiago is a 17-year-old Afro-Latina with a 3-year-old daughter she had during her freshman year. Emoni lives with her grandma, 'Buela, who helps her out while she finishes school and works part-time. Emoni is determined to give her daughter a stable home and is a good mother.  She is also an amazing cook. At school she takes a new Culinary Arts class that will include a week-long trip to Spain for an apprenticeship. Emoni knows she can never afford the trip, but wants to get all she can from the class, even if early on she clashes with the teacher who tries to teach her things Emoni thinks are below her skill level. Her determination and attitude might impress you, but her recipes and food descriptions will likely leave you hungry!
