Books dominated the gifts my boys received this Christmas 2018. Between aunts and uncles, grandparents, parents and Santa, the boys made out like very successful book bandits indeed. I would have been very jealous about their haul, except that my own gifts included some great books too: Becoming by Michele Obama and These Truths: A History of the United States by Jill Lepore, Cover This Country Like Snow by Kristine Zeigler (a dear friend), and Every Grain of Rice by Fuchsia Dunlop.
As for the kids, they are slowly but steadily making their way through their piles (and are raiding my stash as well—my 14-yr old is currently deep into Becoming). I am sharing the list with you (with their permission) as it may spark ideas for your own MG/YA readers and will post reviews of the ones we’re enjoying in the weeks and months ahead. If you enjoy this list, make sure to also check out our 2016 Book Bonanza list.
