After Tupac and D Foster

Just a short blog to get the word out about a a teen reading site called Teen Reads. It can be found at http://www.teenreads.com/features/NIP_index.asp. This is a great site for teens who love to read with scads of reviews about teen genre novels. It could also be a great site for teens struggling with reading. Their facebook page would be a great attraction to get teens interacting with books, author, and ideas. Join here:

Three girls become best friends set against tragic events. For grades 6 - 9. Woodson has won the Newberry Award and Coretta Scott King Award for children's literature.
