We're in Young Adult book land around here. My boys love 'em. I love stealing them. And my wonderful SIL, the middle school English teacher, has great recommendations for us this year:

1. Divergent (Book 1) - It's the new The Hunger Games.

2. Ready Player One: A Novel (for older kids)

3. The Mark of Athena (Heroes of Olympus, Book 3) - Jonah has read every one of Rick Riordan books. This one will be wrapped up for him on Christmas morning. 

4. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Realistic. For Grades 8 and up. 

5. One for the Murphys

and a bonus 6. Shelter (Book One): A Mickey Bolitar Novel. Jonah just finished this one. It's written by local author, Harlan Coben.
