Mother Need Books...

Dear Next Book,Please help me. I am mother of two (boy-14 and girl -16). I would like to buy them each a book for Christmas but need some recommendations. They both have to do lots of work for school so they don't have much free reading time. I want to make certain they are books that will grab them and that they will love! I'd love for them to be able to curl up and really enjoy a great book this vacation. They are both good readers looking for a great book! Can you help me? Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Hopeful Mother

Dear Hopeful Mother,
We are fifth grade students but we are up to your challenge. One of us went to the high school last night and asked a few readers what they would suggest. One idea for either your daughter or if your son is on the sensitive side would be Beautiful Creatures. We have been warned that it is a little on the romantic side but it is definitely appropriate. The girl who read it loved it and could not put it down! Hunger Games was another suggestion and we think they should both read that if they have not yet. This is the first book in a series and it is great! Be warned that it is violent - but wonderful! Far North was another suggestion if they would want a survival story. It sounds like Hatchet where kids have to survive after a plane crash. Unwind is another book that we have heard high school kids love. It is suppose to be pretty gross but very thought provoking... you might want to give that one a try. Some of us have read a great book called Okay for Now. It is a YA book and we think that every person on earth should read it! It is SO good. Book Thief is another awesome book. They may have read it because it has been out for a bit but if not buy that book tonight!!!

We will continue to research your needs tonight and give you more suggestions tomorrow. You must really care about your kids to go on this website to find the perfect book. We hope our advice helps!

Happy Reading,
Next Book
