Dear Calib Friends,
 
I belong to a small, all-female book club whose members (all close friends of mine) have diverse tastes and careers (from stay-at-home mom who used to work as a Marriage & Family counselor to a Livermore Lab computer projects manager to a property manager
with an Oxford PhD in archaeology).  We alternate picking the titles we read, and it is my turn next and I would appreciate some suggestions.   Recent well-received titles have included The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, People of the Book,
and To Kill a Mockingbird .  A book we universally didn't enjoy was Out Stealing Horses.  
 
I want to convince them that YA literature has compelling offerings we would enjoy and would greatly appreciate suggestions of YA titles you or your students have read and would recommend.   I don't know yet whether I will tell them in advance that I am
picking a YA book or not. 
 
Thanks in advance,
Anne
