PATTERSON HEIGHTS: ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers
Education, Felicia's News, Patterson Heights, Publishing/Literary
My first YA novel, actually, correction, my first novel, PATTERSON HEIGHTS was recently chosen by the American Library Association as a 2010 Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers.
This writer was beyond thrilled.
While I was writing the novel, in the back of my mind were the young people that I worked with at various libraries around Baltimore City. Kids, who despite being classified as nonreaders, blah, blah, blah, would read if I put engaging material in their hands. Go figure!
Check out ALA's Quick Pick list and other book recommendations for our teens.
