This summer, give your tweens and teens the gift of reading and eliminate the "I'm bored and I don't know what to do while school's out" syndrome.
As an adult who enjoys YA literature (and many are cross overs to adult fiction), here are my summer recommendations that are sure to keep your tween or teen's mind a-churning...
Tweens:
- Nancy Drew series (I grew up on these!)
- A Series of Unfortunate Events, a series by Lemony Snicket
- The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis
- Whale Song by Cheryl Kaye Tardif
Teens:
- Pretty Little Liars, a series by Sara Shepard (also a new TV series)
- The Vampire Diaries, a series by L.J. Smith
- Maximum Ride series by James Patterson
- Uglies, a series by Scott Westerfeld
- Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling
- Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney
- Princess Academy by Shannon Hale
- Just Listen by Sarah Dessen
- The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd
- The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
- Whale Song by Cheryl Kaye Tardif (a discussion guide can be downloaded from my website)
Happy reading! :-)
"The story of Sarah Richardson is a journey of wonder, friendships, happiness, sadness, loss and love. It will keep you reading from cover to cover. Cheryl Tardif's writing is captivating and I look forward to reading more of her novels."
