Overview
The Jacqueline Woodson Collection gathers eight of this award-winning author's most celebrated novels in one paperback boxed set. From foster care and grief to friendship and identity, each story is told in Woodson's spare, lyrical prose. Ideal for tweens and young teens who enjoy honest, character-driven fiction, this set makes a lovely gift for a young reader's shelf, a classroom library, or anyone exploring Woodson's back catalogue in one convenient package.
About the Books
This set gathers stand-alone novels and companion stories that showcase Jacqueline Woodson's gift for capturing young people facing hardship with quiet courage. In Locomotion and its follow-up Peace, Locomotion, eleven-year-old Lonnie processes the loss of his parents and separation from his sister through verse and letters. After Tupac and D Foster follows two Queens friends whose world opens up when a free-spirited new girl arrives. Feathers uses a mysterious new classmate to explore hope in a 1970s classroom. Hush traces a girl adjusting to a new identity after her family enters witness protection, while Miracle's Boys follows three orphaned brothers learning to hold their family together. The House You Pass on the Way examines a teenager's search for identity, and From the Notebooks of Melanin Sun follows a boy coming to terms with his mother's coming out. These novels have collected multiple Newbery Honors and Coretta Scott King Awards, and are widely used in middle-school classrooms for their honest treatment of family, race and resilience. Each paperback preserves Woodson's original text, a great introduction to an author often taught alongside YA classics.
