Young Adult Literature

Our class  does not require independent reading however, along with reading literature in the classroom, it is important for students to find a novel that interests them to read on their own time. I have read many novels designed for young adults and have many suggestions! Beyond my personal suggestions, there are also many different websites that will assist students in finding the perfect book for them.  

Please feel free to borrow any books from my classroom library!
