One of the things we love about the YA genre in the last decade (or so), is how it’s expanded to include stories from communities we previously hadn’t heard much about.

Last week, we explored the lives of teens coming of age during the 2019 Hong Kong riots. We’ve also read books about a critical and tragic moment in Malaysian history and more.
