Is it, how many days are left of school? No. Is it, what day does summer officially start? Nope. The question is , HOW DO I JOIN TEEN SUMMER READING?!? Well for those of you in the know, you know you would have to come visit the Teen Area in the library. Once you were here all you would have to do is fill out a registration slip. After that, just write down every five books, magazines, and graphic novels you read and turn them in, and BAM! you get a prize. And that's it clean and simple.

Some toss and turn at night, there is always a story to everyone's life. Why one girl wont tell her friends about her father, why one guy questions the policys of small talk, a girls small victory over her pedifile-wannabe step-father's, sexist controlling ways. Every story that has a conflict, what's yours? In my opinion the best story of the six, was The Vulnerable Hours. A eye opening story of how one night some questioned everything and others answer with an answer that free them of emotional bindings.<br />5 stars.Ruby Cagnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06225033100234452489noreply@blogger.com0
