I would second The CatI ever Named. I agree it is very moving and
appropriate for high school.

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!

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I,"
said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not
for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that
is given us.” J.R.R. Tolkien, *The Fellowship of the Ring*.
