I’m looking into my crystal ball (sometimes, the old technology is the best), and I see a great resource in your future. There will be shouts of joy from YA librarians in January 2010 when they discover that Joni Richards Bodart has completed Radical Reads 2: Working with the Newest Edgy Titles for Teens (Scarecrow). The dedication will make you sigh and then you’ll dig in to find more than 100 fabulous teen-tested titles, all published since 2002, each with its own character map, booktalk, theme discussion guide, book report ideas, and more. Your young adult readers that are always looking for more grit, angst, turmoil, addiction, despair, and psychosis will thank you for having Radical Reads 2 on hand. – Dodie Ownes, editor
