An extremely interesting read for older teens!

Barry Lyga's Boy Toy is a fictional story that could just as likely be non-fiction. It is a book about a boy who begins a relationship with his 7th grade teacher. The language is honest and rough and sometimes blush worthy. I would not suggest this book for young teens or anyone who isn't well prepared for the issues this book deals with.

The story invites different feelings by the chapter. One minute you are feeling sorry for a character and the next minute hating them. You can see the real damage of sexual abuse and understand how it impacts the victims life. Though this book made me feel awful at times, it also made me understand something I was never able to relate to before.

Feed

If you are looking for something fun and not too heavy to read, I would suggest M.T. Anderson's Feed. This book is also excellent on audio. The story deals with a group of friends who decide to take a "road trip". However, this book takes place far in future, in a time when your "feed" runs your life.

Even though this book takes place in a time we can not relate to, the characters and drama are relateable. This is a book for all ages, genders, and interests. If you are a teen, were once a teen, or are so to be a teen, you can relate!
