Youth Lit for Adult Readers - Page 2

These are the books that my 11 to 14 year old middle school students (over the past 16 years) have declared to be worth reading. They are also the books that I recommend to adults who aren't afraid of being seen with youth literature. Audiobooks count. Movies do not.
