We Deserve Monuments

Wow. Just… wow. We Deserve Monuments is a debut novel. But you wouldn’t be able to tell. It’s just that well written. A beautiful, heart-wrenching coming of age story, Jas Hammonds wove a tale of generational trauma, love, racism, homophobia, and what really matters. This was recommended to me by Goodreads because I read Pet (by Akwaeke Emezi), and I at first marked it as TBR because of the cover. Then, I read the premise. It was at this moment that it became an instant read for me. I was not disappointed.

Hatchet by Gary Paulson is a novel about a survival story about a 13 year old boy, Brian, who finds himself alone in the Canadian wilderness. His only tool is a hatchet. 

This is a book of experiments and survival. I would rate this book 3 out of 5, and would recommend it to people who like survival stories. This book was a great book to connect to the outdoor wilderness. This gave me memories of camping, and many possible survival tips!
