Cool New Teen Books (and a few Children’s books as well)


 I am a fan of YA literature, so I always like to be aware of what books are coming out soon that I might be interested in or are gaining attention in the news.  One such book is Scarlet by Marissa Meyer.  I read her debut novel, Cinder, last year and was such a fan.  The book was something new and fresh in YA literature, so I was ecstatic when Scarlet was released already this year.  Another book that I read last year and thoroughly enjoyed was the False Prince by Jennifer Nielsen.  The next book in the series is to be published in March and I cannot wait!  These books and more are listed below and all look to be great reads!
