The Ultimate Teen Reading List
250 great books compiled by www.teenreads.com
“One of our goals each month is to inspire you to read --- and to keep reading. We have foundthat required reading lists for school --- especially summer reading lists --- are not exactly inspiring.Thus we have created what we think is theUltimate Teen Reading List--- 250 titles that we think areperfect choices for reading and discussing.How did we create our list? We compiled entries from Teenreads.com readers who weighed inwith their selections and we also asked our staffers for suggestions. Titles range from young adultbooks to books that we read on adult lists that we think would be enjoyed by teens.”
