You get a sneak peek at next year&#8217;s best MG and YA books. How cool is that? For this bookworm, it&#8217;s a little like my visions of heaven. Books just arriving at your doorstep like magic, waiting for you to read them.<\/p>\n<p>My very first Advanced Reader Copy showed up in the mailbox right before the Fourth of July weekend.

It&#8217;s heartfelt &#8211; full of anger and hurt, hope and beauty. Set against the backdrop of a graffiti war, YOU&#8217;RE WELCOME UNIVERSE challenges our assumptions about art, belonging, and friendship in new and interesting ways. The characters are compelling, the art work is captivating, and the twists and turns make this an impossible book to put down.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/list\/8154981-patricia\">View all my reviews<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #1590d6;\">For readers:<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A friendship story that&#8217;s not all sunshine and happiness.<\/li>\n<li>A real character\u00a0 &#8211; complex and diverse &#8211; that&#8217;s not easy to pigeon-hole. .<\/li>\n<li>The art work!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #1590d6;\">For teachers<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A complex and diverse character &#8211; who doesn&#8217;t always make the best choices.<\/li>\n<li>Discussion about art and vandalism &#8211; expression and destruction.<span id=\"reviewTextContainer1797796582\" class=\"readable\"><span id=\"freeTextContainer8329612508860633549\"><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li>Excellent world building from the character&#8217;s point of view in a contemporary setting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The world is going to saying THANK YOU, WHITNEY when it gets its hands on this book next year.
