We have not used any of these, but I have read the first, and it's very
moving.
*The Cat I Never Named: a True Story of Love, War, and Surviva*l by Amra
Sabic-El-Rayess. A teenage Muslim girl surviving the Bosnian war and
ethnic cleansing.
*Funny, You Don't Look Autistic: a Comedian's Guíde to Life on the Spectrum*
by Michael McCreary. McCreary is Canadian, and does stand-up comedy across
North America.
*Sigh, Gone: a Misfit's Memoir of Great Books, Punk Rock, and the Fight to
Fit* by Phuc Tran. Tran is a high school Latin teacher, tattooer, and
Vietnamese immigrant. He uses themes from great books to tell his story.
Fair amount of swear words.

Hello BAISLERs,
One of our faculty members asked for help selecting nonfiction memoirs for
summer reading (high school level). We're looking for 3-4 titles for
students to choose from and hope to include a diversity of viewpoints and
themes. Thanks, in advance, for your valuable feedback!
