And some really horrible must-to-avoid books that I hope your library does not have in their collection. laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593664.post-70682618811681362252022-08-12T06:37:38.226-07:002022-08-12T06:37:38.226-07:00Yeah, he's pretty wonderful!

Nate likes reading about teens from different places with different backgrounds, sci-fi, humor, fantasy, etc. He's interested in history, tech stuff, you name it. :)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720293202890878993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593664.post-27285538285455352612022-08-12T06:25:41.425-07:002022-08-12T06:25:41.425-07:00If he's reading YA (sounds like he is), I'...If he's reading YA (sounds like he is), I'd go straight to Karen McManus. The first book in the series is One of Us Is Lying, then Two Can Keep a Secret, then One of Us Is Next. These are the best teen mysteries/thrillers, and one of the few that are not heavily weighted towards girls. <br /><br />YA publishing has a reverse sexism -- 90% of what's published assumes boys don't read anything but fantasy.laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593664.post-32729491405467543162022-08-12T04:47:28.379-07:002022-08-12T04:47:28.379-07:00I will let you know.

He is supposed to pick a book from a genre he usually doesn't read as part of his summer reading assignment, and I thought a mystery might be a good choice.
