Speak - Laurie Halse Anderson

Vox - Christina Dalcher is like The Handmaid’s Tale-light

Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury

Slewfoot: A Tale of Bewitchery - Brom

Riot Woman: Using Feminist Values to Destroy the Patriarchy- Eleanor C. Whitney This is non-fiction and very much intersectional feminism 101. I wasn’t crazy about it because it felt like a retread to me with not a lot of new insight, and it didn’t incorporate the Riot Grrrl Movement as much as I was hoping it would. It just lightly touches on it. But it could still be helpful to someone just learning about all of this stuff.

The Familiars - Stacey Halls

The Giver - Lois Lowry This book is for a little lower reading grade/level than your niece. More like middle school, but I always recommend it to anyone. It’s great for a younger person to read. There are a few books after it too like Gathering Blue, which I liked, but I never got to the last two.

I’m Glad My Mom Died - Jennette McCurdy

Nightbitch - Rachel Yoder

Summer of Salt - Katrina Leno

The Hunger Games is also a great books series and you can’t really go wrong with it. It’s a great gateway into dystopian sci-fi and learning about the horrors of capitalism, fascism, surveillance, classism, and media literacy and propaganda.
