I teach at a high poverty, high minority charter school in Houston, TX. I need more high interest teen novels to ensure my kids are having great experiences while reading. My goal this year is to make my students love and value reading. The demographics for our school are as follows: 90% of students are first-generation college bound; 80% of students are economically disadvantaged; 95% of students are Hispanic or African American; Almost all students enter our school at least one grade level behind in math and reading.
