Kathy T.
Kathy T.'s Wrinkle series is so good that I don't know what to do with myself.
Run. Don't walk.
I'm serious. GO!
In the final steps of the election, this is the series where she talks to people in such a real, wonderful way. (Update: Let me add, this is about real people. I'm so sick of politics right now to read about real people and how they became who they are is so lovely I just can't stand it. She is awesome.)
I cannot recommend this enough.
