The Body Keeps the Score
The Body Keeps the Score is a long and in-depth book, which meets the seriousness of the topic. Some of the cases give specific details of abuse, which can be hard to read. However, the second half of the book is fascinating as he explores things that can really help people deal with trauma. I would recommend this book to anyone who works with children, especially teachers. It’s definitely a good book to understand trauma and its affects.

The Main Dish
The Main Dish is a great young adult novel about sisters and the desire to be popular. Family relationships can be tough and when sacrifices don’t seem fair, it can cause rifts. Parents aren’t always perfect and The Main Dish also examines how the parents present the situation to their daughters. I would highly recommend this book to any tween/teen who enjoys a story full of suspense and drama – especially if she has a sister!

Warriors Don't Cry
Could you fight through emotional and physical abuse every day at school just to make a difference? Nine students did this exact thing in 1957 when they integrated into Central High School in Little Rock, Ark. Melba was one of these students and she writes the bare bones truth about her experience in Warriors Don’t Cry. It gives a first-person perspective to a very important time in U.S. history.
