Punching the Air
By Ibi Zoboi and Yusef Salaam (Sept. 1)
Bestselling author Ibi Zoboi and prison reform activist Yusef Salaam, a member of the Exonerated Five, deliver a moving novel in verse about a Black teen poet and artist who is convicted of a crime he did not commit and sent to prison. School Library Journal praises it as “an important, powerful, and beautiful novel that should be an essential purchase for any library that serves teens.”
