Lately, if you find me at a bar, you'll find me reading a young adult novel. I'm starting a book club at my new middle school and am geeking out on all the YA fiction I left behind at age 12.
The Westing Game: A (it's our first book for book club this year)
The Hunger Games and Catching Fire: A (every 10-14 year old has read these though, so this was just for my own enjoyment again)
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas: A (second book club book of the year)
Half Magic: B (a little too young for 6th-8th graders)
Up next: And Then There Were None
I'm still struggling through Grapes of Wrath - it's enjoyable, but the pacing is a little slow. I've also started War of the Worlds, which I think I'll get through more quickly.

You need to read The Phantom Tollbooth.
