John Green, YA author and Printz Award winner

A friend recently recommended An Abundance of Katherines by John Green with a disclaimer that it celebrates nerdiness and has footnotes!  Well, how could I not embrace my inner smartypants?  This book is funny and endearing and I absolutely recommend it.  My only caveat is that reading it on an e-reader does not do it justice.  The book contains many footnotes (yes, footnotes in a fiction) and they don’t translate well in electronic form.
So… after my great experience with the quirky characters in  Abundance…, I again took my friend’s advice and read Looking for Alaska, the 2006 recipient of the Printz Award.  This is not a quirky happy book about teens, but instead a deeper and moving look into the life of Miles “Pudge” Halter and his friends.  Set in Culver Creek, Alabama, I felt my temperature rise as the characters navigated the southern heat and life in a boarding school.  I also recommend this book as it navigates the very real fears and concerns of teenagers as well as us all.
