Identity
Overview
As you prepare for life beyond high school, this theme examines the ongoing process of defining who you are. These books feature characters questioning, constructing, or transforming their sense of self. What makes us who we are? How do our experiences, relationships, and choices contribute to our identity? Through these stories, you'll explore how identity can be both a foundation and a frontier - something to build upon and something to discover.
