[CASL-L] Foreign language books (High school level only)

[Cathy Andronik]

Originally written in that language, or translated from English?  

Follett has a way of limiting searches by language, and their listing often includes reviews, though probably of the original English-language version rather than the translation.  I'm using it now to look for versions of YA favorites (Fault in our Stars, Hunger Games, etc.) in Spanish for a transition class.  Amazon can also be searched this way.

I recommend books by Carlos Ruiz Zafon for somewhat creepy/suspenseful titles with teen protagonists originally written in Spanish but also available in English.

 Hello everyone, I need help finding novels
 written in foreign languages (specifically French, Latin,
 Italian and Spanish). Does anyone have book recommendations
 or suggestions for places to look for novels written in
 these languages (such as Book of the Year awards, etc.) and
 how to select books that I can then present to the World
 Languages department? I feel disadvantaged because I can’t
 personally read and give an educated reader’s advisory.
 Novels should not be adult or middle grade books. I’m
 looking for young adult protagonists/narrators with
 themes/topics that are appropriate for grades 9-12. Thanks,Dawn M. Zillich,

 Catholic High SchoolCurrrently listening to: The
 Daniel Plan by Rev. Rick Warren. God designed our bodies to
 be healthy, providing everything we need to thrive and live
 abundantly. And with assistance from medical and fitness
 experts, Pastor Rick Warren and thousands of people from his
 congregation at Saddleback Church started a journey to
 transform their lives. The result: 15,000 people lost over
 260,000 pounds in the first year. But the changes in
 people's lives went far beyond the pounds they lost. The
 Daniel Plan encourages people to get healthier together by
 optimizing the key five essentials of faith, food, fitness,
 focus, and friends.
