Beaumont Library District

Those pink covers. That flimsy paper. The nonstop series installments that hooked readers throughout their entire adolescence. We'll be discussing the history of YA Literature, from the serious issues in the 70s, the blockbuster trilogies that arrived in the 2000s and the beloved series, romance and slashers of the 80s and 90s. At the end of January we will post questions for you to share your thoughts and comments on this book and the books you loved from your teen years! This book club is intended for teens 13 and older. Adults who love YA you are welcome to share your love for teen lit too! Happy Reading! Be on the lookout for a giveaway of this book soon!
