Code Talker: A Novel About the Navajo Marines of WWII  by Joseph Bruchac
GPL Teen Book Reviewer: Victor Imoukhuede
The novel is a realistic fiction book that talks about the once hidden efforts of the Navajo Marines during WW2. I had to read this for summer reading assignment, but I still seriously enjoyed this book. With it's ups and downs, excitement, and turmoil, I think this book is for you if you enjoy history.

Cover Art Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell
GPL Teen Book Reviewer: Marya Kim
Rainbow Rowell (which is an amazing name, by the way) truly knows how to represent the minority. A relatively overweight girl named Eleanor with a father issue moves to a new school and meets mixed race Park, and they fall in love and have a wonderful relationship full of romantic tension and making out. This is one of the rare few books that I have read about a half Korean girl protagonist (if you know of any more, please let me know). And it isn't the minority representation that makes this book good; it's the beautiful style of writing that Rowell has. By cutting out the unnecessary redundancy and getting right to the good parts without leaving out the romantic tension, Rowell is a skillful teenage romance author. If you like love stories, you definitely need to read this.
