Choice of a Young Adult Novel




January 2006 -- Reader's Choice of a Young Adult Novel
Meeting Location: Carmyn's Apartment

Some might wonder at this choice of genre for an adult book club. However, we are all teachers and are in a position of recommending books to kids and the best way to do that is to read young adult books. We also expand our knowledge base and hear about many books as we discuss our varied titles. This book gathering was held at Carmyn's apartment and Larry, Brian, Judy and Pam were in attendance.

Carmyn read Siberia by Ann Halem and Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelson

Pam read Becoming Naomi Leon by Pam Munoz Ryan


Larry read Izzy Willy & Nilly by Cynthia Voigt & 7th Son by Orson Scott Card


Brian read The Boys are Back in Town by Christopher Golden

Judy read Monster by Walter Dean Myers
