//**Twenty Boy Summer**// by Sarah Ockler

While on vacation in California, sixteen-year-old best friends Anna and Frankie conspire to find a <span class="highlight" style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #444444; font-family: verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline;">boy <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #444444; font-family: verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> for Anna's first kiss, but Anna harbors a painful secret that threatens their lighthearted plan and their friendship.

//**Just One Day**// by Gayle Forman <span style="font-family: verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Sparks fly when American good girl Allyson encounters laid-back Dutch actor Willem, so she follows him on a whirlwind trip to Paris, upending her life in <span class="highlight" style="font-family: verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline;">just one day <span style="font-family: verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> and prompting a year of self-discovery and the search for true love.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 14px;">Set in 1986, Eleanor and Park is more than just a teen love story. It is a beautiful lesson about caring for one another beyond school. Eleanor lives a tough life, she gives clues about her home life and refers to the year prior when she actually had to live in another house. She alludes to why this happened and who made it happen, but it is made clear by the end the exact circumstances. There are some real life lessons to learn by reading this book. Without spoiling the story, I wish more people would pay attention to their friends and try to always watch out for them. Eleanor is new to school and she dresses in the alternative style of the 80s and also due to her poverty, wears eclectic clothes like men’s shirts and neckties (VERY FASHIONABLE – I also used this technique in the 80s because I, too, did not have the money to wear the brand names.) In the meantime, she meets Park, a Walkman-wearing, comic book reading boy on her bus who finally saves her from the bullies in the back of the bus on the first day. Eventually, they start reading the comic books together and then they realize that they can’t stand to be apart. No one really knows what is going on in Eleanor’s life at home or how important her relationship with Park becomes in helping her to survive every day.

//**<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #444444; font-family: verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Winger **// <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #444444; font-family: verdana,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">by Andrew Smith

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 14px;">The novel is incredibly well-written and is narrated by Ryan Dean West, the winger of his prep school rugby team, a bit of a scrapper who is trying to build up his muscles and his rep while attempting to survive his stint in the O-Hall of his prep school. We meet West while his head is being introduced to the porcelain God in his dorm. O-Hall or Opportunity Hall is where they send the students who need to be disciplined for their wrongdoings. West, as his love interest Annie Altman calls him, is sent to O-Hall and must board with the most aggressive bullies and misfits on campus. His existence in O-Hall does not start off auspiciously, but West does not let that get him down. He consistently reacts positively (well, in most cases) or ignores his bullies and strives to find the right way in every situation. There are some exceptions, but they are pretty vicious customers, so the ways he retaliates, although frowned upon by most civilized people, seem like righteous retribution by that point of the story. While dealing with all of the trials of his life, he must also deal with his romantic feelings for Annie and girls in general. Oh by the way, the girlfriend of the most terrifying denizen of O-Hall falls for him and well, she just can’t keep her hands off of him. Yes, those kinds of obstacles.
