Peer Reviews
Here's what some high schoolers have found in the library recently....
Throwing Like A Girl shows what it takes to be part of a team: courage, confidence and accepting your losses while learning from your mistakes.
It has a strong sense of moving to a new school and starting afresh.
Also, Weezie shows how relationships make a difference in our lives!... It's powerful!

I recommend Case Closed for awesome sleuthing and detective action.
I recommend The Odyssey for fascinating mythological action

If you like Sarah Dessen, read books by Deb Caletti. Very real emotions are displayed by the characters in her books. She creates girls you can relate to and guys you'll want to meet. Great realistic fiction for teenage girls.
If you enjoyed reading His Dark Materials, get the book on tape. It's a full cast recording. The voics capture the characters well and it's a great way to listen to the book.
