books about: teenage     books:       The Power (Secret Circle)90 reviews Lisa Smith Hodder Children's Books, 2002 A fitting conclusion The first time around, I read this trilogy out of order. I picked this book up in a used bookstore when I was about ten, and I loved it so much that I went out and bought the two other books in the trilogy, and every other one that L.J. Smith had written at that point. Eight years later and it's still probably my favorite book by her. The development of Cassie throughout all three books is ...             Your Basic Nightmare (Sweet Valley High Senior Year, 6)56 reviews Francine Pascal Sweet Valley, 1999 Good but just a comment... This is one of the best books of the series. I love the Conner-Liz thing. However... I just wanted to point out, I think in this book something like Maria and Liz go into the Riot and laugh as Tia pull them into the crowd. It's something like "Liz laughed then coughed at the second hand smoke." Smoking's been outlawed in California bars for a while. Just a comment.             Say Goodnight, Gracie 20th Anniversary Edition101 reviews Julie Reece Deaver HarperTeen, 1989 best book I would give this book five stars. It is one of the best books I've ever read and I could not put it down. The story was captivating and it made you feel like you were another character watching this story unfold. You are so in touch with the characters emotions that certian points in the book don't really hit you until you see how she is hit by it. Over all this is my favorite book and I ...             China Garden120 reviews Liz Berry Orion Children's Books (an Imprint of The Orion Publishing Group Ltd ), 1994 deeply fabulous Oh, I love this book. I first came across it when a friend lent it to me. That was in 2004. I still have the book. While I am planning on giving it back to her (soon, I swear) I bring up this embarrassing story just to point out what holding power this book has. At this point, I've read it so many times that I don't remember what my initial reaction was. Every time I reread it, though, ...             The Captive (Secret Circle)61 reviews Lisa Smith Hodder Children's Books, 2002 Cassie flirts with the dark side!

Once we're grown up, we think we remember what it was like to be a kid. But we forget so many of the details, the feelings, the (mis)interpretations that kids make. This book is great for pre-teen girls and for parents who want to know more about what their pre-teens might be thinking and feeling. It's written in diary form, is an easy read and despite the girl's angst, it's quite a hopeful ...             Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations69 reviews Alex Harris, Brett Harris Multnomah Books, 2008 Teens are not the only ones who fall prey to low standards and expectations... I tend to have high standards and high expectations - both for myself and for those around me. And, I have been told that my standards are too high, and my expectations are unreasonable. Maybe they are. Or, maybe society's expectations are too low... When I first heard about Alex and Brett Harris' book Do Hard Things, I was intrigued. But, I put off reading it because, no longer a teenager ...             Some Things That Stay44 reviews Sarah Willis Berkley Trade, 2001 Excellent book- I read it in one day! I bought this book because of the price and it looked interesting but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved it.

This would be an excellent book club book as there is so much meaty ...             Prayers on My Pillow: Inspiration for Girls on the Threshold of Change55 reviews Celia Straus Ballantine Books, 1999 A Real Source of Comfort and Encouragement for Girls I purchased this book for 12 and 10 year old daughters. I thought that perhaps we could read a prayer each night as a devotion and that it would give us an opportunity to talk about issues in their lives. It has done that and more. My oldest daughter now refers to it frequently, whenever she needs a lift or a little extra encouragement. I also purchased the sequel and I rate it equally well. ...             Leaving Cecil Street (Mckinneywhetstone, Diane)42 reviews Diane Mckinney-whetstone William Morrow, 2004 Wanted to Stay on Cecil Street The novel LEAVING CECIL STREET by Diane McKinney-Whetsone is set in Philadelphia in 1969 on a beautiful African-American neighborhood street. It was a joy meeting Joe, Louise, Shay, Alberta, Shawn, Neet, Deucie, and Brownie in the novel. Cecil Street and its inhabitants reminded me of the cohesiveness of the African American neighborhood in the past. This is when African American continued to ...             The Cheerleader44 reviews Ruth Doan MacDougall Frigate Books, 1998 A Classic I first read this when I was 16, in the 1970s. I don't know how MacDougall got a drug-addled, school-vandalizing little punker to identify with a straight-A, student council member, 1950s cheerleader, but instead of resenting Snowy, I loved her and cared what happened to her. MacDougall does a fantastic job of giving the physical details of a 1950s adolescence: the smell of Noxzema and ...             Red: Teenage Girls in America Write On What Fires Up Their Lives Today39 reviews Plume, 2008 Filled with substance - brilliant and satisfying This collection of essays compiled by Amy Goldwasser is nothing less than a masterpiece, as it eschews the typical teenage bubble-gum-book syndrome in favor of a richly detailed, complex, emotive and, above all, substantial body of work from an array of teenage young women as diverse as their topics.
