The Hunger Games

by Suzanne Collins

“OK---if you like Margaret Atwood, Orwell, Lord of the Flies then pick up this YA book! Its futuristic, government control and gladiator style warfare all wrapped up into one new powerful Young Adult title. Watch it become the next "hot" book out there!”

Artichoke's Heart

by Suzanne Supplee
- Rated 4 stars
“You can't help but like Rosie---she has taken so much verbal insensitivity from her Aunt who just won't stop harping about her going on a diet. She has taken one bully mouthed nastiness to many from Megan Winters who calls her Artichoke. But Rosie has an inner strength and depth that shines through. She changes more then physically in this book---she is an amazing young woman. Kyle and her friend Kyra are lucky she is their friend. Her mom is lucky to have such a daughter. ”

Paper Towns

by John Green
- Rated 5 stars
“Another excellent book by John Green. If you liked Looking for Alaska then Paper Towns is a must read. When Margo, Quentin's childhood friend, a risk taker, and unpredictable friend takes off without any good-byes "Q" seems to be the only one set on searching for clues after the initial shock wears off. ”

Jerk, California

by Jonathan Friesen
- Rated 4 stars
“Jonathan Friesen has written an incredible YA book that ADULTS should read as well. His main character has Tourettes Syndrome, something Friesen himself knows about from personal experience. This is a "top pick" YA title and a YA for adults to read. ”

by Lucinha Araujo

“Brings back memories---required reading at C.P.E.I. in Sao Carlos, S.P.---I think it was in the 1st ginasio level, portugues class. A time period piece of Brazilian life. I would love to get my hands on a copy again.”
