The Poet X
by Elizabeth Acevedo
In the winner of the 2018 National Book Award for Young People's Literature, a young girl in Harlem discovers slam poetry as a way to understand her mothers religion and her own relationship to the world. Entertainment Weekly said, "While struggles with faith, family, and self-acceptance are not unique teenage experiences, it is their presentation through the lens of Xiomaras Afro-Latina heritage that makes her story a startling standout."
