(Fun) Summer Reading for Teens

What we're into this week: adolescent literature. http://bit.ly/jNJ4BF and http://www.education.wisc.edu/ccbc/books/default.asp We found some lists of great books for teenagers from the Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, via the International Reading Association web site and the Cooperative Children's Book Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Yes, many gifted kids do a lot of reading, and with summer coming up, it might be fun for your teen to take a break and hit the beach with a good story.  From intelligent vampire fantasy to historical fiction about a young girl growing up during the Cuban Missile Crisis, there's bound to be something for your teen on this list. Each book on the Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy list is reviewed by university faculty from across the country. CCBC also provides reviews and recommendations. What is your teen reading?
