YA News


Judy Blume's books have been given new covers. What do you think? It's making me want to re-read Deenie. The copy I had was dated even when I read it.

I would love to re-read Deenie too. I don't remember much about it besides that she had scoliosis, right? I prefer the older cover but I guess they have to appeal to the kids.

Does anyone remember the Lois Duncan books? I started thinking about some of those the other day and would love to reread those as well: Stranger With My Face, Don't Look Behind You, Killing Mr. Griffin.

I like the newer one better; although it does look like a Sarah Dessen book.

I read Lois Duncan, but I don't remember reading any of those. The one I remember is Down a Dark Hall, about a school where the staff were using the student's minds to translate work from the souls of dead geniuses like Beethoven. It was very Buffy.
