Simon Pulse, 2003
One of My Favorite Books
+ what my mother doesnt know + "What My Mother Dosent Know" Book Review
I absolutely adore this book! I picked it up off of a Books-A-Million bargain table on a whim, thinking it would be a nice light read to occupy my time on a way home. It turned out that this is one of the best young adult books I have ever read. I leant it to two of my friends, both of whom agree ...

A Mango-Shaped Space 75 reviews Wendy Mass
Little, Brown Young Readers, 2005
Wow Wendy mass!
+ One of the only books I've read that made me cry... + Delightful, useful book
Mia has always seen colors; she See's them for Letters, sounds, and numbers. She hasn't told anyone since the 3rd grade "Freeeek" incident.
She tell her parents and they take her to the Doctor she finds out that she isn't the only person like that. It's a great self-discovery book.

Blood and Chocolate 312 reviews Annette Curtis Klause
Laurel Leaf, 1999
An underrated, good read
I think this is a good under rated book for teens who are into dark fantasy and romance like Twilight. The story is centered around Vivian, who lives with her werewolf clan while they try to coexist with humans. It shows the character change as Vivian goes from hating and feeling superior to humans ...

Surrender 7 reviews Sonya Hartnett
Candlewick, 2006
Disturbing and compelling!
+ Don't read any review, just see how many stars it got! + Dark, yet smart and thought-provoking
This book was recommended to me by one of my students, and I'm extremely impressed. This is a story about a young man's struggles to overcome an abusive life, and it is told in a narrative style that keeps you guessing until the very end. The split between Gabriel and Finnegan begins to grow wider ...
