Top 10 Summer Reading Books for Teens
Are you having difficulty getting your teenager to read books this summer? If so, here is a summer 
reading list that might make even the most reluctant teen pick up a book.
The American Library Association compiled this list of the top 10 summer reading books, which includes fiction and non-fiction selections. The target audience for this summer reading list are teenagers who aren't avid readers. If the top 10 book list doesn't get your teen excited, the librarians also assembled a more extensive summer reading list of 101 books.
Here are the books that even the most reluctant reader won't be able to put down:
Street Art Book: 60 Artists in Their Own Words by Ric Blackshaw and Liz Farrelly.
The Naked Truth: Young, Beautiful and (HIV) Positive, Marvelyn Brown.
Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles.
