Anyone looking for great books for middle schoolers that address issues of racial injustice? I asked William to share a few recommendations for books for middle schoolers from his summer reading.

(I’ll add that I have read “Roll of Thunder” and “On the Come Up” and loved them both, so these count as my book recommendations too!)

Enjoy—three book recommendations for middle schoolers in three minutes!
