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.

Dead End in Norvelt by Jack Gantos
This is hilarious. I can see why it won so many awards. It's a coming of age story. Right up there with A Year Down Yonder. Perfect for middle school libraries. There are positive messages to racism of the time. It's a good read and a good listen to. Enjoy.
