I think that sometimes teens want books that ask a little more of them than Sweet Valley High or Fear Street, but that are still interesting enough to keep their attention. Hopefully the books suggested here will do just that." * [http://www.noflyingnotights.com No Flying, No Tights] A Website Reviewing Graphic Novels for Teens * [http://www.csusm.edu/csb/ Center for the Study of Books in Spanish for Children and Adolescents]Written in both English and Spanish, this site lists recommended books, professional resources, workshops, proceedings, friends, and links to other related sites. ==Genres== *[http://www.reviewandreact.com/ ChickLit Fiction]- Hip, smart fiction about teens. *[http://home.pacbell.net/zindel/historical/ Historical Fiction Starring Girls] From the site: "I have created a selective bibliography of Historical Fiction books for Young Adults that have female protagonists.
