Book Reviews for Young Adult Literature:

A quick note about the book reviews. The posts regarding the books will be short, as I hate giving away too much plot information, it spoils the read. The goal of the posts will be to share some of my musings regarding the books. What I liked about the books, the types of themes that can be discussed and some problems the books my have in being shared with students in class.
