Tori Martin Author Of The Summer of Us

From my list on clean books for teens that arenā€™t boring.

Why am I passionate about this?

I have loved reading since I was a child. Books can take you places you will never go otherwise. Thatā€™s why itā€™s so important to have good, clean books that take you places you want to go and books that donā€™t strand you somewhere you donā€™t want to be. As a YA author myself, I am passionate about providing literature for teens that is adventurous and relatable, without the spice that often flavors todayā€™s books. I hope you love diving into this list of clean recommendations!

Tori Martin Why did Tori love this book?

If I met Eric Walters, I would ask him how he, as a middle-aged male writer, got so effectively inside a teen girlā€™s head. I enjoyed following Alexandriaā€™s journey from a rich suburb to a small non-profit in Kenya.

The dusty plains of Kenya are a far cry from her walk-in closets and piles of expensive clothes, but they hold valuable lessons for one used to being coddled by society. I loved the character development, the experiences, and the true friendship Alexandria discovered over the course of the story.

But Alexandria has been in trouble beforeā€“and this time she canā€™t find a way to scheme out of the consequences. Before she knows it, sheā€™s on a plane headed to Kenya where she has been ordered to work for an international charity.
