October Recommendations for Teens

Fiction

The Gardener by S.A. Bodeen - A greenhouse which grows humans? Military officers would have a great advantage if they could field an army which could survive on sunlight.

Slapped into a dank prison by the New Order, and tortured, they strive to master their newly discovered powers. Escaping the prison, they join the resistance. This fast paced tale has them fighting The One who is The One, with Wisty periodically bursting into flame.

The Cardturner by Louis Sachar - It is the summer after Alton’s junior year of high school and his girlfriend is now dating his best friend. He has no money, and no job, and now his parents insist he drive his old, sick, rich, and blind uncle to bridge club four times per week.

What did happen to Uncle Lester’s perfect bridge partner, Annabelle who was committed to a mental institution?
