[LIT] What are your young adults reading right now?

[Barbara Lazar]

There are more "trends" with my girls: Clique Series, The Uglies-The 
Pretties-The Specials; TGIF and TTFN; Perfect; Sisterhood of the Traveling 
Pants series;  Sonja Sones' books--- 
My boys' reading habits are less obvious, but some of the books include: 
Hiassen's Hoot and Flush; Flags of My Fathers; Enders Game; Holes; Among the 
Hidden series; Walter Dean Meyers' books; William Sleater's books; Gary 
Paulsen; assorted graphic novels...
