If You're Reading This, It's Too Late by Pseudonymous Bosch, J Fic Bosch
A book I read and liked was If You're Reading This, It's Too Late, because it is suspenseful, funny and adventurous. I love this book because of how it is narrated, and the side comments written at the bottom of some pages. I think it is a good book for all teens because it has a little of everything. -- Danielle, Grade 9

Sing You Home by Jodi Picoult, Fic Picoult (New)
Sing You Home by Jodi Picoult is her newest book. This book touches on a huge topic in today's society: being gay. I was a little apprehensive to read this at first, but being a huge Jodi Picoult fan I decided to give it a shot. This book, like many of her others, I could not put down. It was amazing up until the last page. By the end of the book the characters become so real to you it's like you know them. But my favorite part of this book was that Picoult gave an unprejudiced view of society TODAY and how society views different topics. The book is a little long, but I encourage others to give it a shot. Overall, I loved Sing You Home. -- Kristina, Grade 12

The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau, J Fic DuPrau
The City of Ember was a great book. I loved the plot and the fact that it was in another city underground. The characters were good and I liked how Lina is posed as a motherly figure for Poppy while also retaining her childish character. -- Matt, Grade 10

Uglies by Scott Westerfeld, Teen Fic Westerfeld
& J Fic Westerfeld
The book Uglies by Scott Westerfeld is a story about love and despair, friendship and betrayal. I liked this book because, although it is set in a different time period than our own, the characters are easy to relate to, and it shows us that no matter where, when, or under what circumstances we live, teenagers will be faced with many similar types of decisions.
-- Simone, Grade 10

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Teen Fic Collins
& J Fic Collins
The book The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins was an amazing book, about the so-called future with 13 colonies each making different things. When Primrose (Prim for short), a twelve-year-old girl gets chosen for the hunger games, Katniss, her sister, must find a way to save her, even if it means going into the hunger games herself. It’s an AWESOME book so read it!
-- Camille, Grade 10
