I loved Veronica Roth's Divergent (the second of the Trilogy Insurgent is coming out May 1st); Marie Lu's Legend is another great beginner to a trilogy.  Has he read The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater?  I just finished Ernest Cline's Ready Player One and it is my all time favorite...awesome; the geeks & gamers will love it and there is romance too.

Dear Colleagues,

 

I have a 17 year-old boy who turned in Mockinjay this morning and said to me, “Now that I’ve discovered this reading thing, what else do you have for me?”  He ended up choosing Game of Thrones, which is fabulous considering the thickness of the book, but what else would you all recommend for a teenaged boy who loved The Hunger Games series?

 

 

Thanks!
