PATTERSON HEIGHTS: ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers

PATTERSON HEIGHTS: ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers

02/07/10

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.
