Fiction
The Downstairs Girl by Stacey Lee
By day, seventeen-year-old Jo Kuan works as a lady's maid for the cruel daughter of one of the wealthiest men in Atlanta. But by night, Jo moonlights as the pseudonymous author of a newspaper advice column for the genteel Southern lady, "Dear Miss Sweetie."
When her column becomes wildly popular, she uses the power of the pen to address some of society's ills, but she's not prepared for the backlash that follows when her column challenges fixed ideas about race and gender. While her opponents clamor to uncover the secret identity of Miss Sweetie, a mysterious letter sets Jo off on a search for her own past and the parents who abandoned her as a baby. But when her efforts put her in the crosshairs of Atlanta's most notorious criminal, Jo must decide whether she, a girl used to living in the shadows, is ready to step into the light.
With prose that is witty, insightful, and at times heartbreaking, Stacey Lee masterfully crafts an extraordinary social drama set in the New South.

Nonfiction
Gun Violence: Fighting for Our Lives and Our Rights by Matt Doeden
Tens of thousands of people--mostly teens--marched from the US Capitol to the White House in Washington, D.C., on March 28, 2019, to protest gun violence. The previous month, a teen had entered Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, with an assault rifle he had purchased legally. In just over six minutes, the nineteen-year-old shooter killed seventeen people. The March for Our Lives was a response to what many Americans are calling a gun violence epidemic.
The debate over the right to bear arms has raged for decades in the United States. The Second Amendment of the US Constitution allows for gun ownership. But is it an absolute right that allows any American to own firearms? Or does the government have a right, and a responsibility, to limit gun ownership?
Americans agree on some things. Most believe that people who are mentally ill or who are suspected terrorists should not be allowed to own guns. Almost two-thirds of American say that teachers and school officials should not be allowed to carry guns on school property. But when it comes to protecting versus controlling gun rights, Americans have not come to a consensus. Learn about the history of weapons regulation in the United States, notable court cases, gun violence statistics, and how teens and their allies are making their voices heard in the debate.
