Soar by Joan Bauer
This book is really cute. It's a story about a heart transplant survivor who becomes a baseball coach.It tells you to never give up and always try your hardest.

A great book for any teen trying to gain confidence about a talent they have. Even though foster faces problems through out the book, she still never gives up.

Very enjoyable! I can understand why this is required reading for Hunter's English class. Although it is lower level, it has some great teachable elements in regards to writing.
Uplifting realistic teen fiction that focuses on community, politics, and found family.
