A few months ago Becky & I got to meet Abby White at a book event. She was kind enough to give us an ARC of her debut novel, now out. It's such a fun read! Cover copy says: "Looking for Alaska + You are so not Invited to my Bat Mitzvah," and that's about right! Check it out: www.abbywhitewrites.com

The year's "Best-of" lists are appearing, and they are sadly lacking in books for 12-15 year olds.
We are especially excited when we see reviewers pointing out good books for young teens (while highlighting that there are SO FEW books in this age range).
Thank you, Kirkus and Laura Simeon!

Best advice I can give to parents: once a week go to the library, pick out a stack of books (make sure your kid gets to pick out several on their own) and then throughout the week, read them together. Reread their favorites. Talk about them together. Snuggle and read. Ask open ended questions.
