The Main Dish — The Main Dish is a great young adult novel about sisters and the desire to be popular. Family relationships can be tough and when sacrifices don’t seem fair, it can cause rifts. Parents aren’t always perfect and The Main Dish also examines how the parents present the situation to their daughters. I would highly recommend this book to any tween/teen who enjoys a story full of suspense and drama – especially if she has a sister!

Warriors Don't Cry — Could you fight through emotional and physical abuse every day at school just to make a difference? Nine students did this exact thing in 1957 when they integrated into Central High School in Little Rock, Ark. Melba was one of these students and she writes the bare bones truth about her experience in Warriors Don’t Cry. It gives a first-person perspective to a very important time in U.S. history.

The Tipping Point — The Tipping Point is another fascinating, thought-provoking read by Gladwell. It gives a behind the scenes look at why many things become so popular. It can be handy for those wanting to get ideas and products out to the public, but it can also show you how you are being influenced.

The House Always Wins — Neil has shared his story in many driving classes and wrote The House Always Wins to hopefully spread the message that driving is something to be taken seriously. Knowing this accident happened just 20 minutes from where I live makes it really hit home. I think this would be a great book for every driver and soon-to-be-driver to read. It also talks about forgiveness, which is a great message to hear.

A Long Fatal Love Chase — While A Long Fatal Love Chase is geared toward a mature audience, I think high school age readers would enjoy it. It speaks to a woman standing up for her beliefs and morals and trying to live a quiet life. Yet, there are stalkers out there and the world can be scary. True love can be found, but not all stories end happily.

The Widows — The Widows was a fantastic read. I read it in just a few days. The book is well-paced and the characters come alive quickly. Living in Ohio, the book was very interesting to me. Readers of good fiction will enjoy this book.
