Check out this fun series by Marlene Perez! Quick and easy "Twilight-ish" read - may be a good suggestion for reluctant readers. I think you'll enjoy Daisy's struggles in Nightshade, California... a town full of the supernatural!

I am not one to tear up during Hallmark Commercials but let me tell you... your readers might want a kleenex box with this book!
Twenty Boy Summer takes place during a summer vacation in California with two best friends, Anna and Frankie. For these girls, "summer" means the beach, sunsets, the ocean, heartbreak and summer love. Anna and Frankie deal with the loss of a loved one after a car accident. Secrets threaten their friendship. I think it's important that you know Frankie is obsessed with helping Anna lose her virginity as soon as possible.

I have created three shelves of book suggestions. The first shelf will include newly published young adult fiction and nonfiction titles. The second shelf is for newly published books in a series. I have just created the third shelf for new graphic novels. I expect this will have many newly published books in a series.
Stay tuned for any other tidbits that I happen upon!

I am so excited to join the panel of presenters for the annual Iowa Children's and Young Adult ICN Booktalk! I have found so many titles to include in my Young Adult session already that I decided to create this blog. I am hoping that librarians will find this blog a useful resource for collection development. I will continue to add my favorite picks!
