Sarah Dessen
Are you looking for a contemporary romance with cute boys and great storytelling? Look no further than Sarah Dessen. Ms. Dessen has published 10 books, 9 of which I've read, and her 11th book, 
, will be published June 2013.
Here are a few of my favorites featuring the all new covers:
(Speak (Penguin), 1999. 228. $9.99. 9780142401767) Book excerpt
(Speak (Penguin), 1998. 281. $9.99. 9780142401774) Book excerpt
(Speak (Penguin), 2009. 432. $9.99. 9780142415566) Book excerpt
(I listed original pub dates with updated imprint buying information also I didn't include How to Deal since that's a movie tie-in which was based on two previous books)

Happy reading!
I've only read 3 or 4 of her books, but I've really enjoyed them. She's such a lovely person - Every time I read an interview with her, I'm inspired to read another one of her books. Do you have an all-time favorite out of the 9 you've read?
ReplyDeleteThere would be a tie between Dreamland, her first book, and Someone Like You. The students love Someone Like You - which is a popular 8th gr booktalk - which leads them to discover her other books!
DeleteI've read several of her books and am on a mission to read them ALL! I love her.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the spotlight-I subscribed to her newsletter. :)
