TASHAS Reading List
TAYSHAS takes its name from the Caddo Indian word meaning “friends or allies.” Written as texas, texios, tejas, teyas or tayshas, the word was applied to the Caddos by the Spanish in eastern Texas, who regarded them as friends and allies against the Apaches.
The goal of the TAYSHAS reading list is to motivate young adults to become lifelong readers and to participate in the Texas reading community. Students in grades 9 – 12 are encouraged to read books for pleasure from the list, which includes fiction and nonfiction titles. High school students are sure to find a favorite from this list!

Cope Field
By Simpson, T.L. 2025
"A teen baseball star who 'has it all'--looks, wealth, and a pro-MLB father--grapples with an impossible choice: reveal his abuse at the hands of his father and risk being separated from his younger brother in the foster care system, or remain silent and risk his brother experiencing that same abuse."
The Glass Girl
By Glasgow, Kathleen 2024

Under The Same Stars
By Bray, Libba 2025
In 1939 Germany, best friends Sophie and Hanna write to a legendary local oak tree in search of love, only for their lives to fracture as World War II creeps into their small town. Decades later in 1980 West Berlin, lonely American transplant Jenny finds connection with a free-spirited punk rocker and a mysterious neighbor carrying hidden secrets. In 2020 New York, best friends Miles and Chloe receive an unexpected package that plunges them into a cold-case investigation about two teenagers who vanished in a German forest eighty years earlier. Across these three converging eras, the unraveling truth surrounding the missing girls forces each generation to confront sacrifice, secrets, and the weight of reconciliation. Author Libba Bray crafts a propulsive, century-spanning mystery exploring youth resistance and resilience in the face of cyclical oppression.
