Teen Summer Reading Challenge
Congratulations to our weekly prize winners for July 9: Nishawndra T. and Najai L.!
Tell Me About It! Here’s what some of our teen readers at BWBL say:
Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy by Gary Schmidt—Adventure--"At the beginning Turner moved, which made him miserable. He once was almost persuaded into jumping off a cliff, but instead he took his clothes and ran down the main street with his shirt off. While he is doing this, Lizzie is fighting to keep her family land."—Najai L. (rating 7 of 10)
Pirate Curse by Kai Meyer—Adventure/Horror/Mystery/Suspense/Humor--"Jolly is a 14-year-old polliwog. She was in battle…her (father) captain died and his crew. Jolly floated to Muke and his family on an island. Then one night Muke’s dad told them everything about the past."—Nishawndra T. (rating 10 of 10)
The Skin I’m In by Sharon Flake--Realistic--"It’s about a girl that feels she is too black to fit in or for anyone to like her but she finds out…."—Kemi O. (rating 10 of 10)
