Teen Read Week is a national literacy initiative of the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA,) celebrated each year during the third week in October. This week is dedicated to fostering a love of reading among teens. There are a plethora of great books aimed at teens but, the truth is, many of these books have the same appeal for adults. Most people are probably quite familiar with some of these genre-defying gems, such as Twilight and Harry Potter, but there are a host of other excellent adult-friendly YA books. In celebration of Teen Read Week, here are a few highly recommended books that both YA and adult readers are sure to enjoy:
*The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
*Graceling by Kristin Cashore
*The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
*The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
*Jellicoe Road by Melina Marchetta
*Madapple by Christina Meldrum
*The Magician's Elephant by Kate DiCamillo
*What I Saw and How I Lied by Judy Blundell
Are there any YA books that you recommend?
