Teens Review Spring 2014 Releases, Second Take on Whaley's 'Noggin'
Though there's time travel in Subway Love and a body transplant in Noggin, all of the featured titles here could loosely be labeled contemporary young adult fiction. While one teen attempts to escape from suburban atrophy in The Other Way Around, another finds her way out through dance in Warm Up. What's not to love about YA books?
Teens Review '17 & Gone', 'Landry Park', and Whaley's Latest
A teen slips into a dangerous mental state after seeing an apparition of a girl who has gone missing in 17 & Gone; Landry Park introduces a future world in which the gentry hearken back to the Victorian era; and award-winning John Corey Whaley knocks another one out of the park with Noggin.
Teens Review Klass's 'Grandmaster', Forman's 'Just One Year' and More
SLJTeen young adult reviewers tackle four new teen books. Gayle Forman pulls off a great sequel with Just One Year. Lottery winners meet the devil and the archangel Michael in Tammar Stein's Spoils. In David Klass's, Grandmaster, chess becomes a metaphor for life's challenges and joys. Caminar, written in verse by Skila Brown, takes readers to war-torn Guatemala.
Teens Review 'Dust of Eden' and 'Hysteria'
Mariko Nagai's Dust of Eden reminds readers of a time when the U.S. government sent its citizens to prison camps. Fans of thrillers will want to launch into Megan Miranda's Hysteria, which follows a girl with murderous inclinations into the private school world, where "secrets are currency."
Teens Review 'Project Cain', Marr and Prat's 'Rags & Bones', and More
SLJTeen reviewers take a look at an interesting mix of books. From a creepy short story collection to a novel told backwards, these titles have something for every reader.
Teens Review 'Palace of Spies', 'The Scar Boys' | Book Reviews
Sarah Zettel continues to turn out the hits for teen readers, and Palace of Spies is no exception. The Scar Boys is partly based on author's Len Vlahos's own experience playing in a punk band in high school, while learning how to become a good friend.
Teens Review the Latest from Patrick Ness, Susan Beth Pfeffer, and Others
Looking for a break from the paranormal genre? The only monsters you'll find in these books are of the human variety—a maniacal kidnapper, an abusive boyfriend, elitist survivors, and one's own memory.
Teens Review Damico's 'Rogue', Rowell's 'Fangirl', and Douglas's 'After Eden'
Gina Damico wraps up her Croak series in "cracktastic" style with the fall release of Rogue. If you loved Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell, it's a good bet you'll be smitten with Fangirl, "written by a writer writing about a writer writing." The question posed in After Eden, from Helen Douglas, circles around when it is or isn't right to keep a secret, especially when a loyal friend and a whole planet depend on it.
