About the Books:
Piecing Me Together introduces Jade, a determined teen bussed from her Portland neighbourhood to a private school, navigating assumptions about race and class. Watch Us Rise, co-authored with Ellen Hagan, follows best friends Jasmine and Chelsea as their online feminist club goes viral, sparking a school-wide reckoning with sexism. Some Places More Than Others sends Amara to Harlem to meet her father's family, unearthing questions of heritage and belonging. What Momma Left Me is a tender novel about Serenity and her younger brother rebuilding their lives with their grandparents after loss. Love Is a Revolution follows Nala, who reinvents herself to impress a passionate young activist, only to discover the power of being her true self. Across the set, Watson's poetic, unflinching voice examines race, feminism, family and self-worth, while Hagan's collaboration on Watch Us Rise adds a sharp, lyrical energy to the fight for gender equality. These are stories written for teens who want fiction that entertains as much as it educates, earning starred reviews and award recognition for their honesty about growing up Black, female and determined in America today.
