Starting on October 18, the entire world past, present and future celebrates the teen book. What is your favorite teen book of all time? I have two favorites and coincidentally, people tried to ban both! The first is The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. The narrator Holden Caulfield sets the standard for all the confusion every teen who is ever walked this planet experiences day after day. (Holden’s favorite word? – phony)
The second book is The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier. How can teens be so cruel to one another? How can authority be so injust?
So what’s your favorite teen book? It can be a book written specifically for teenagers or a book about a teenager. (A Catcher in the Rye, for example, is also an adult book but since it’s main character is a teen, it qualifies.)
