The Grief Keeper, a sharp work of YA speculative fiction by Alexandra Villasante, was the 19th book in my 2022 #FReadom quest to read books threatened or banned in Texas libraries and schools. The novel revolves around an experiment with some very serious ethics problems, and I found myself worrying that YA readers might think such behavior actually represented real clinical research. But the history of research ethics invites scutiny, and I believe Villasante trusts her YA readers to wrestle with the power dynamics and what they mean.
