Pride Reads 2026, Day 16: Opting Out
This is such a good read! It's a middle grades graphic novel that I found deeply relatable. Periods? Gross! All your classmates start dating??? Seems fake. Why is everything changing? Why can't things stay the same? This story tackles these questions and experiences from the POV of Saachi. She's got a loving family and a bestie, but is having trouble coping with the turbulent changes of puberty and middle school, especially when her best friend starts dating a boy. Saachi confides in her journal as she questions her gender, expressing a design of opting out of gender altogether. My favorite part is how open and supportive Saachi's parents and little sister are. I also liked the way they incorporate their religion (Hinduism) and culture.
“Indeed, confident assurances and promises of fortune, when whispered into the right ears, often serve as substitutes for thinking at all.”

Tyler and Tess in the Magic Maze (Magic Maze Trilogy, Book One)
In Tyler & Tess in the Magic Maze, by Samuel Warren Joseph and Phil Proctor, 11-year-old twins Tyler and Tess Porter take a shortcut home from soccer and find themselves in strange, Oz-like new world. There’s an Alice in Wonderland vibe too, as they’re immediately in for confusing questions — if the twins weren’t TRYING to get to Queen Zebra, then why were they sheltering in the standing stones…

Favorite part of history to teach and why?
The Korean War.
My minor in college was Asian studies and I find Korean culture very fascinating. Anywho, I feel the Korean War is something that gets glanced over in history a lot. As some argue that it wasn’t as devastating as other wars (which going off of numbers and data that’s accurate). Still there is a story of a group of untrained student soldiers that fought during this war, and were mostly killed that I believe needs to be told.
Also the Chicano Movement, which is basically the Mexican civil rights movement. For the same reasons stated above. I feel like it’s something that is again not taught enough in schools and where I teach there are many Hispanic students that need to see themselves represented positively in history.
