    I forgot about The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I think it would be a great book for teens to read, but I think it may have a hard time getting past the conservative school board members.

    What is a Blue so Dark about? I've seen it before and can't remember.

    Oooo The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a good one! I should re-read that sometime soon, actually. Thanks for the reminder!

    This is a really great list. Most of these I have on my TBR but haven't read yet. Actually, some of them are on my list because I think I've read your thoughts on them, and then I added them right away because you made them sound really good...maybe the Kessler books and the Study series. At any rate, great list!
