I have 4 copies of Everyday in my library, and it's one of my favorites to recommend. I'm a little anxious because I let teachers check out over the summer, and I want all 4 of those copies back before schools starts so I can get them into students' hands ASAP!Mary Reilley Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11813103725312625333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4128908838311784462.post-9228708066100922072014-07-28T11:10:55.405-04:002014-07-28T11:10:55.405-04:00Rick Riordan is a huge favorite.

It was a lot of fun. <br /><br />I think right now Rainbow Rowell is my favorite, but it changes every time I pick up a new book...I also love Neil Gaiman's middle grades/YA stuff.

I picked up Boy in the Black Suit at ALA and it's awesome. And he thanked me for being a librarian, nobody ever does that!!<br />I also love John Green and Gayle Forman and too many more...

It's had a resurgence due to the movie but I found it as a teen and truly identified with Ender.

I think I would spontaneously combust if I picked just one. But, one of my favorites and go to authors for kids is Laurie Halse Anderson--so much variety and depth in her writing....and then, Chris Cructher....and then Gordon Korman for the guys and gosh, I could keep going. You did say one and I didn't follow directions. again.Linda Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00833034575304594924noreply@blogger.com
