Since the offical start to the holiday shopping season is today I thought I'd share my suggestions for some great books to buy for people on your list. I'm not going to go crazy and give you a huge list, instead I'll just give you my top choice(s) for a few catigories.
Best For MG Boys
The Scorch Trials - needed for all the boys who read The Maze Runner. And if they haven't read The Maze Runner give both!
Conspiracy 365 January - action packed book that has 12 books out in the series!
Best for MG Girls
It's Raining Cupcakes - my daughter (age 11) read it, loved it and bakes tons of cupcakes now
Sister's Grimm The Fairytale Detectives-fantastic series full of adventure and fun
Best for YA Girls
Shiver and Linger - so many of my girls love this series
Gallagher Girl Series - So many of my girls tear through this series. Fun, action, some romance.
Best of YA Boys
Thirteen Days to Midnight - what would you do if you knew you couldn't be be hurt?
Lockdown by Walter Dean Myers - well anything by Walter Dean Myers
Best Series for Those Who Liked to be Spooked
The Devouring and Soustice! I found the second book better (scarier) than the first. I need to read Fearscape yet.
Best for Zombie Lovers
The Forest of Hands Teeth along with The Dead Tossed Waves. Love love love this series and again I liked the second book better.
Best for Readers Who Like to Laugh
The Strange Case of Origami Yoda - cute, funny but also a great message
Best YA for Adult Readers
Before I Fall. I cannot say how much I loved this book!
Best MG for Adult Readers
When You Reach Me - I adored it beyond reason :)
So those are just some suggestions I have. Hope you maybe found something for the reader on your list.
Great list. I've found that my students, er, well, the gilrs really like Haley Abbots books. Myers is a no brainer for the boys. I swear, even my most reluctant reader can get into his books. He's freakin' brilliant. Oh and I must get my hands on the Origami Yoda book, for realz!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
