Modern Good Reads discussion

One of my trademark gifts for graduation is a book, a journal, and some $... something to escape, something to reflect, and something for fun.

What do you think would be the perfect graduation book for a YA today?

I just reviewed Katie McGarry's, Dare You To , and it was brilliant.

Is there a particular message in it, or just a great read?

Actually there are several messages in it, but I think the primary message [for kids] is to be honest with yourself and seek what makes YOU happy, not your parents while [for parents] leave the kid alone! S/he's not there to fulfill your dreams.

And, yeah, it's a great read. I'd'a given it a "7" if the ratings allowed it. Really well-written with depth, drama, and tension.

Hey guys,

I work for the publisher of Georgetown Academy. We will be releasing the Season One on June 11th.
Georgetown Academy: Season One

If 1000 people add it to their shelves by 6/11 the authors will release a deleted scene from the series !

It's a really fun, sassy story about a world so few of us have insight into!

Ooh, nice recommendation. That sounds exactly like the sort of book I would enjoy. I've added it to my To-Read shelf!

I would recommend Cinder by Marissa Meyer or Delirium by Lauren Oliver, although they are both quite girly. It's not YA, but maybe Game of Thrones for boys?
