"This year's best young adult, middle grade and children's books expose young readers to some of today's most complex and pressing topics. They unpack everything from dealing with a parent's drug addiction to grappling with depression. In Elizabeth Acevedo's The Poet X, a high schooler discovers that she can use writing to express herself. Dave Eggers' What Can A Citizen Do? encourages children to become active members of their communities.
