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.

Thirteen Doorways, Wolves Behind Them All by Laura Ruby
This book has two stories that thread within each other. A ghost is telling what she is seeing of two sisters living in an orphanage. The ghost also travels around. I enjoy that she goes to the library. It's the depression era and also WWII, later on. Growing up in the Chicago Catholic orphanage reveals a glimpse of a life that is a challenge. This is a great story and fine for any high school library for older mature readers. Also good adult read as well. Audio book also very good.
