New YA Books Releasing August 18 2020

My take on August 18? Illustrated covers have TAKEN OVER THE WORLD. I’m not mad about it, but it’s a lot – though I didn’t include every cover.

All Eyes on Her by L.E. Flynn – boy and a girl go into the woods and only one comes out.

Dating Makes Perfect by Pintip Dunn

Displacement by Kiku Hughes – in this graphic novel a girl is drawn backwards to relive her grandmother’s experience in a WWII internment camp for Americans of Japanese heritage.

Don’t Ask Me Where I’m From by Jennifer DeLeon – Liliana, who’s Latinx, is selected for a program that sends her to an all-white school. This book’s release date has been changed twice, so show a fellow Jen some support!
