Teen Speak

Check out what our teens had to say about some of their favorite books!

Delirium by Lauren Oliver
Genre: YA Dystopian
Published: 2011
 
Request This Title!

This is a book about a seventeen-year old girl named Lena whose world is controlled by the government and love is not allowed. When she falls in love, Lena starts to see the flaws in her perfect world. As she learns of a new world, she challenges the old one. Lena’s character changes from being withdrawn to standing up for what she wants. I could identify with Lena when she was grappling with the problem of breaking the rules to fight for what she believes in. The end of the book is sad and challenging in a good way. If you like this book, you will like Matched by Allyson Condie.

Request This Title!

Sabriel is a fantastic adventure through a mysterious world of old magic and necromancy.

The final showdown is amazingly well done and will leave you happy for the heroes. If you enjoy a good tale of heroism and love, then this is the book for you.
