Twilight Teen Book Discussion

You can read my thoughts on our recent Teen Book Discussion on the programming blog. We were thrilled to death (no pun intended) by the turnout. Eight girls all raring to discuss all aspects of this four book series. Who knew it would take vampires, werewolves and a klutzy teenage girl to get the kids to participate in a book discussion. Believe me 8 was a triumph.

We're going to capitalize on their enthusiasm and revisit Twilight in January 2009 and compare the book to the movie.

Meanwhile we have a Teen Book Discussion scheduled for October for Teen Read Week. Teens are invited to bring their favorite book and campaign for it to be voted most popular. We thought we would have some other categories to vote on. I'm looking for suggestions for favorite first line in a Young Adult book. If anyone reads anything unusual or knows of any catchy first lines I'd love to hear from you.
