Recommendations for Jane

Number One Recommendation: Wintergirls

Adult:

My Sister's Keeper by Picoult

The Ice Queen by Alice Hoffman (I did not read this book this past year.)

Silas Marner by George Elliot

The Girl with the Pearl Earring by T. Chevalier (I did not read this book this past year.)

YA:

Schooled by Gordon Korman - Quick and easy young YA read but very enjoyable

Pictures of Hollis Woods - Quick and easy young YA read. Very poetic. Protagonist is an artist.

Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson - Historical fiction about slavery

Day of Tears by Lester - a quick novel told from the perspectives of numerous characters reflecting on their memories of a slave auction. I am still reading this. It's painful but powerful.

Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson - Poetic. Powerful. About eating disorders.

Graphic Novel - Both found in the Children's Graphic Novel Section

Amulet - Fun and fast. Terry has a copy.

Middle School is Worse than Meatloaf - Totally freakin' hilarious. A great reminder of middle school life as a girl.
