Given the times we're living in, I thought The Hate You Give
<https://www.amazon.com/Hate-U-Give-Angie-Thomas/dp/0062498533/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=the+hate+you+give&qid=1610641127&sr=8-5>
inspires critical conversations about racism, socioeconomics, education,
poetry (Tupac Shakur) etc.

Also, I thought Meg Medina's Yaqui DelGado Wants to Kick Your Ass
<https://www.amazon.com/Yaqui-Delgado-Wants-Belpre-Winner-ebook/dp/B00BMVO1N8/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=meg+medina&qid=1610640667&sr=8-7>,
has the potential for critical conversations about bullying: psychological,
verbal, physical; socioeconomics & education, poverty & incarceration,
objectification of women; the main character 'hiding' her intelligence
because she's afraid of becoming a target of bullying.
