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.

Curveball The Year I Lost My Grip by Jordan Sonnenblick
I liked this book. Teens need stories about family with parents or grandparents who are ill. Told in a positive teen life. I think this book would be good in any teen library.

When We Wake by Karen Healey
I thought this was an interesting book. I now want to read book 2 to see what happens. This has everything in it; government conspiracy, ecological disasters, teen friendships and some science fiction made real. Enjoy!

America is Under Attack by Don Brown
This book would fit any unit teaching what happened in 9-11. It's eye witness accounts, personal stories done well. Good job to Don Brown!
