Check out these booklists for teens. Some focus on a particular theme, others are read-a-like lists, and some are specific to homework assignments. I try to keep the lists current, but if you think there is a great book missing please emailleonard@bccls.orgso that I can add it. To find out what I'm reading, check out my goodreads page.
