Just Read Suggestions
Below are some books I'd like to suggest to you for Just Read Friday. If you've read them before, you might try others by the same author or others in the series (in the case of Weetzie Bat).

The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier This is a tale of a power struggle at a private boys' Catholic school. When one student refuses to sell chocolates as part of a school project, the other students gang up on him in often terrifying ways. A great book for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider, and beautifully written. |

Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause If you're a fan of vampires, werewolves, or fantasy fiction in general, this book is ideal for you. Klause's world of werewolves is surprising and gorgeous. |

Weetzie Bat by Francesca Lia Block At a breezy 128 pages, this is a quick read. It's also a charming, clever tale of a one-of-a-kind heroine, Weetzie Bat herself. With her platinum blonde locks and whimsical attitude, she's sure to win your heart. This is the first book in the author's Dark Angel series. |
