New Book List

I went to my amazing Young Adult Literature Conference again this year! I wrote about it last time I went...this woman reads like 400 books a year! It was so good and I wanted to read every single stinking book on all her lists. Instead, created a Google Slides presentation of titles I thought my kids would most enjoy, shared it with them during our reading hour at school, and then I narrowed my own personal list to these 20:

• Scythe by Neal Schusterman

• Walk on Earth, Stranger by Rae Carson
• Seeds of America Trilogy by Laurie Halse Anderson
• Front Lines by Michael Grant
• Steeplejack by AJ Hartley

• The Girl I Used to Be by April Henry
• Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige
• The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig
• The Reader by Traci Chee
• Nine, Ten: A September 11 Story by Nora Raleigh Baskin
• Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys

• Kill the Boy Band by Goldy Moldavski
• The Distance to Home by Jenn Bishop
• The Best Man by Richard Peck
• Lily and Dunkin by Donna Gephart
• Ghost by Jason Reynolds
• This Is Where it Ends by Marieke Nijkamp
• The Bitter Side of Sweet by Tara Sullivan
• The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon

• The Serpent King by Jeff Zetner

Scythe was one kids were really excited about, so I ordered it on Amazon and am starting with that one. It's set to arrive today!
