The most massive souls are seared with scars.

K. Gibran

* * *

This is for the teens whose souls are already scarred. May they use these titles to heal, to grow strong, to succeed, to overcome, and to achieve their dreams.

This is also for the courageous authors who write books to help soothe those scarred souls, knowing that their work may be challenged, even as it helps and heals the teens for whom they wrote it.

Finally, this is for the equally courageous librarians and teachers determined to make sure these difficult titles are available to the teens who need them and willing to fight battles to overcome the challenges these books will face.
