'Teen Space'

Everyone enjoys a good book series. If you like the characters in the first novel, you can get to know them even better throughout the subsequent releases. Read on to hear about three terrific book series recommended by local teens. You'll find these young adult books in the teen section.

Everyone has a book to recommend, right? Teenagers are no different. As an adult, I love to read a YA book every once in awhile, and I appreciate hearing about which books teens are enjoying, too. Read today's blog post for book recommendations from area teens. 

Teen Book Scout Recommendations 

The Lewis & Clark Library teen space is a great place to hang out for teens. Teens can converse with friends, find out what’s happening at the library, check out the "teen-centric" library materials, pick up a craft activity, and so much more!  Another thing a teen can do in the teen space is leave a book recommendation. There's a specially marked “Book Scouts” journal in which teens can write about  what they've been reading and recommend other teens read these books, too.  

Here are a few book suggestions from teens who’ve recently written in the journal:

Words on Fire 
by Jennifer Nielsen 

Set during the Russian occupation of the small European country of Lithuania, this historical fiction is, as all of Nielsen's books, amazingly poignant, and Anya's story of smuggling books as part of the revolution is particularly delightful for avid readers.

The Lightning Thief: Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 1
by Rick Riordan 

I hated reading as a kid until I read these books. I've read this series 8 times! I know, huge nerd, right? Anyway, this book made me love reading and stories. It's an amazing modern twist on Greek myths that anyone would love.
