TAB next week, YA book review

Our next TAB meeting will be next Thursday, March 6, at 7PM in the Children's Department.  We'll be making plans for our Poetry Night in April and our Teen Read Week activity in March.

Speaking of March.....next Monday starts our YA Book March Madness--we'll start with 32 books (or series) and vote each week to find the champion!

Starting this week, I'll be posting book reviews written by our teen volunteers--if you want to add one of your own, the forms are on the YA fiction shelf right next to our Book Nook.  Here's what Lauren, 16, had to say about John Green's book Looking for Alaska:

"This book is about a teenage misfit who changes schools.  He makes many new and interesting friends that challenge him and help shape him into who he will be.  One of these friends is the reckless and beautiful Alaska Young

I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and the overall story of the book.  Although it is quite sad, John Green uses humor in all the right places.  I also liked how the novel was divided up with 'Days Before" and "Days After."

I would definitely recommend Looking for Alaska. If you enjoyed The Perks of Being a Wallflower or any other John Green books, you would like this one as well."
