A parent-preview choice for a teenager ready to discuss unequal relationships, grief and financial pressure.
David Roberts
Choose this deliberately as an introduction to LGBTQ+ history and activism; its subject should be clear before a family decides to read it.
Louisa Reid
Preview this before offering it to a teenager: the decision rests on readiness for pregnancy and failed adult support, not the verse format.
Clara Kumagai
Consider this for a teenager drawn to ghost mysteries and belonging between cultures; check comfort with haunting, bereavement and romantic relationships.
Blessing Musariri
Consider this for a teenager interested in family identity and history; make space for questions about parentage and the lasting effects of war.
