 | Good Friday Morning, Dear Friends! Jackie Ridzon Mercer, a senior lecturer in English Education at the Youngstown State University in Ohio and her students will be suggesting reading choices in March. Abbey Crawford begins this month with her favorite, recent read novel. Abbey is a senior Integrated Language Arts Education (7-12) major at Youngstown State University. She is currently student teaching honors freshman English. Reading has always been her huge passion, and she is grateful for the opportunity to share her love of reading, especially young adult novels, with Dr. Bickmore's YA Wednesday followers. |
| Misa Sugiura’s This Time Will Be Different is a captivating young adult novel that encompasses various social issues and presents them in a way that inspires readers to fight for change in their community. The main character, C.J. Katsuyamas, is a teenager trying to navigate her way through high school, all while trying to please her overly type-A mother. |  |
 Misa Sugiura | Her family lives by the motto: “Katsuyamas never quit,” but C.J. does not even know where to begin. C.J. works in her family’s flower shop, Hearts Desire, which happens to be the only place she can express herself. Little does C.J. know her place of solace is about to be taken away by the family that caused the Katsuyamas so much pain. Sugiura constructs a powerful narrative that reaches a young, capable audience and shows them their voices can be used to uncover the ugly truths found throughout history and demand justice for the people of the past who were not able to fight for themselves. |
