 Scouted by Emerson  Hurricane Season

Scouted by Melody Dauntless 
by Dina L. Sleiman 

I recommend this book because it can explain why people in medieval times sometimes stole. The first book in the series, Dauntless is followed by Chivalrous and then Courageous.

Just Peachy: comics about depression, anxiety, love, and finding 
the humor in being sad  
by Holly Chisholm   

I loved this graphic novel because it shows us that if you have anxiety you can get through it by calling a friend or just taking a deep breath.
