(3) YA From cult TV shows to epic book sagas, Brooklyn high schooler Laila is obsessed with science fiction. She's an aspiring author but faces unexpectedly harsh criticism from her new creative writing teacher. Laila seeks out new experiences to inspire her writing; it's a familiar trope, but half–French Canadian, half-Ecuadorian Laila's distinctive characterization--including nascent pansexuality--and densely loquacious, stylized narration set this teen-novelist story apart.
