when asked to speak of life-changing books, teens named just two books written for teens
Saturday, January 5, 2013
I wonder if you can guess which two they were.
Upping the ante: The first person to guess correctly and leaves that guess in a comment here, will win a copy of Small Damages. Why not? I'm in the book giveaway mood.
23 comments:
Harry. Flippin'. Potter. (This is my guess, while hoping it isn't true.)
I'm sorry, kellykellykelly, but you are so wrong.
To Kill a Mockingbird and The Hobbit.
Oh I do dislike guessing games because I want to know! But I'll say: The Book Thief and Twilight. <---look how I put those books in the same sentence.
Mmmm...Hunger Games? The Fault in our Stars by John Green? Haven't read that one but heard good things...
Stab in the dark: Catcher in the Rye, Diary of Anne Frank.
The Book Thief and (perhaps?) Looking For Alaska?
"Stay" or "Speak"
I can't find my copy of "Stay" to get the author, should know it but am forgetting.
"Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson
"Wonder" by R. J. Palacio
I'm going to go with these two:
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
Though I'm not sure they both qualify given your parameters. Not sure if you mean classics or new books, either.
I can't wait to see who wins and what the winning books were
I love this question and am so curious. I'm glad we got Harry Potter out of the way, though I might have guessed that. I wouldn't be surprised to see one of John Green's novels that have been guessed, and Tolkien, but he didn't publish for teens. Because I'm scratching my head I'm going with old generation wishful thinking and saying Little Women.
The Adventures of Pinocchio!
oh, gosh, I am loving these responses. Many of you are close. King, your pairing Cracks Me Up
To kill a mockingbird.
Catcher In The Rye and To Kill A Mockingbird. I don't need a prize. I just need to win.
I'll go with two of my daughter's favorites:
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green and
Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher.
The Great Gatsby and The Giver are my choices:)
Laurie
I really really hope it's The Book Thief. That would give me such hope for society.
Okay. How about The Book Thief and Feed by MT Anderson.
Or anything by MT Anderson, for that matter.
(I don't need to win . . . )
I'll guess The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton.
OK, so it's The Book Thief and then I'll guess The Giver by Lois Lowry.
SOYLENT GREEN FOR ME
