As a teacher-librarian, I have the opportunity to read young adult books to share with my students. The list that I have provided will have an overview of the book and personal comments. They are on a Book-mercial style image to get a taste of the essence of the book.

The Runaway King by Jennifer Nielsen
I wish I could write a story like this. I look forward to book 3 to find out what happens to Jaron. Love the story line, the humor and the action. This is one of those treat books, entertaining and fun. Enjoy!

Entwined by Heather Dixon
This is a dark story but well told. If you know the dancing princesses story and how they wore out their shoes, this takes the story to a whole new twist. Great character development and plot development. Characters are fleshed out and have their own emotions and thoughts. A good read.

Seraphina by Rachel Hartman
This one of these books I wish I could write. Highly recommend it. The story stays with you long after you've read it. Really smart and well crafted. I look forward to reading the sequel. There is a nice video about the book http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12394100-seraphina click on the book trailer.

Double by Jenny Valentine
I really liked this book. The characters read as real and believable. A good mystery. Actually two mystery for the price of one. It's set in England in modern times. A good read.
The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan
I think the book needed an editor who could help this book. The concept is interesting but there are holes in the story that needed to be sorted out better. It was painful to read.
