While in Chicago in July, I attended a meeting of the Best Books for Young Adults Committee (BBYA) and took notes on which books they agreed would make the next BBYA list. These three are MUST reads:
Leviathan is Scott Westerfeld's newest and very different from his Uglies and Midnighters series.
Creature of the Night by Kate Thompson is a horror-thriller.
Broken Soup, the new book by Jenny Valentine, author of Me, the Missing, and the Dead, is a life-affirming story of a young girl who has faced tragedy in her short life.
All three of these books are on my next-reads list!
