First Chapters Book Club

The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon [Romance]

The chapters in Yoon’s book are relatively short, and each one varies between narrators. You can read for about ten minutes, and within the first few chapters, students will meet:

• Daniel, whose parents hold high expectations over him.
• Natasha, an undocumented immigrant about to be deported.
• Irene, who works for the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and becomes interested in Nirvana (the band) because of Natasha.

Many students will want to borrow this book because of the beautiful cover, too.
