We hope that SLJ’s Best Books of 2025, filled with adventurous and fantastical stories, silly and breathtaking picture books, true-crime mysteries and stirring romances, and universally consumed manga and graphic novels, will be the joy-making resource that you need to impact the next generation of readers (and their grown-ups).
Readers will root for these well-written protagonists with distinct points of view as they figure out how to face their fears and survive Hurricane Harvey; a great purchase for elementary and middle schools.
This will appeal to fans of books centering strong, determined female characters who stand up against oppression, like Joelle Charbonneau’s The Testing or Sylvia Liu’s Hana Hsu and the Ghost Crab Nation.
Highly recommend purchasing this series as it continues to be a strong, exciting fantasy that features true Black girl magic and adventure that will appeal to many readers.
A highly recommended purchase that tells a rewarding story of characters who present a positive picture of diversity, inclusivity, and caring about their community.
