My Project

Teens sometimes find it hard to keep reading. There are so many distractions for their time and attention. This selection of YA literature should catch their eye. Help me keep our shelves stocked with new books from diverse authors. I have picked some of the hottest authors that will make them stay up at night reading. Holly Jackson, Ruta Sepetys, Ibi Zoboi, Sarah J. Maas, and Gene Luen Yang are some of the big-name authors I've included. Sports fiction, mysteries, and graphic novels are here, too.

These books will keep teens turning pages!
