Whatcha Mean, What's a Zine?
Esther Pearl Watson
Graphia, 2006
Great resource for starting or teaching about zines
This book takes the joy of zines and collects samples and advice into one compact volume. Looking forward to using it as a resource when I head a project for classrooms and individual students to begin producing their own zines. I have looked at many books and think ...
Runner
Carl Deuker
Graphia, 2007
Taking the "Reluctance" Out of Readers
Carl Deuker's RUNNER should attract both teachers of reluctant readers and young readers who feel that reading is not for them. The beginning is interesting enough with its high school bullying episodes and questions of rich (as embodied by romantic interest Melissa ...

What I though of Fanboy and Gothgirl
Fanboy and Gothgirl is a book about a teenage boy who is in love with comics, excuse me, i mean "graphic novels." He's an outcast to a lot of kids, and is a punching bag to the rest. To get away from all the madness he has in his life including, being a punching bag, ...

A Childhood Favorite
I found this book as a child in my elementary school library and I spent alot of time trying to track it back down so that I could pass it on to my cousin, Sarah. The story is not all true, but I feel that it is a really important read for young ladies. I know that ...

Gym Candy
Carl Deuker
Graphia, 2008
It's all there!
I teach Deuker's "Night Hoops" in my eighth grade English classes and it's consistently popular with even the reluctant readers. But now, I've found a novel I like even more. I like it because it wrestles with issues deeper than sports. I like it because it doesn't ...
Dunk
David Lubar
Graphia, 2004
Gavin's Reveiw
Ah, it is summer again, a time and place when the best things can happen to you. No school, no teachers and best of all, a time to do what you want. The best? Not for quiet, witty, and friendly Chad. His life seems like it is deep under water in David Lubar's Dunk. ...
A Certain Slant of Light
Laura Whitcomb
Graphia, 2005
It captured my heart
Oksy, first being an artist myself, I must give props to the cover artist. As many rules as it may break, I have to say that the feeling I got when I looked at the cover of this book is what made me buy it. I thought even if it is a bad read the cover is amazing so ...
Dairy Queen

Loved this
I seem to be working my way through the YA section of the bookstore of late and this one stood apart from the pack. I started page one and didn't look around me until I'd finished. Then, missing the book, I picked it back up and started reading it again. I loved it. I ...

Fun to read
I'm far from being a teen, but I have two teenage granddaughters and want to be able to understand their world to some extent. I am an avid reader and have enjoyed a number of YA books. I especially enjoyed reading these four stories and the different voices the ...

Boy Toy
Barry Lyga
Graphia, 2009
Cliche: I could not put it down
I was expecting another teen-angst ridden sports story. Instead, I found Josh who the story centers around and his struggles. Josh plays baseball, but he does not let that fact consume him. He is also an excellent scholar. Somehow in his quest being competitive has ...
