I think all three titles should be read by young adults by the age of 18. All 3 stories have parallels in their life but then they have some contrast as well.

Read a string of books, about that same time, along the same theme: The Autobiography of Malcolm X, Makes Me Wanna Holler. Not children’s books, of course.
