|summary=A book about love, loyalty and choices. Beautifully written and tremendously moving, itIt's a worthy follow up to super-duper post-apocalyptic zombie novel in the phenomenally successful [[Before I Die by Jenny Downham|Before I Die]]. Both books would make style of a generous present for the teen that likes real life storiesrevenge Western. TheyIt'll also love [[Luke s tense and Jon by Robert Williams]]exciting, a gorgeous tale full of griefaction, friendship and moving on. Moments has a great cast of great clarity add true depth to this funny, sad, wise and truthful bookcharacters. It has something for everyone. We can also recommend [[Losing It by Keith Gray]]: short stories about virginity by some of our leading writers for teens. Disparate, thoughtful, sweet ticked all Bookbag's boxes and funny - they add a great deal to the conversation about teen sex that we all have, most importantly the teens themselvesloved it.

The teen that likes fantasy and sci-fi will enjoy [[Dark Life Mister Creecher by Kat Falls]] and [[Dark Life by Kat Falls]]. Ou reviewers have also found much to recommend [[Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret StohlChris Priestley]]isn't a retelling, a sequel or a prequel in Mary Shelley's story of Frankenstein but an interlude. It's long, deep, truly classy horror for the teen market and totally enthralling - that's a Southern Gothic romantic fantasy to be savoured. If yu're lookng to give two books then you could link it genre which is flooded with [[Beautiful Creatures: Beautiful Darkness by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl|the sequel]] which has just been publishedsome truly mediocre offerings.

You'll find some of these books in our [[Top Ten Teen Books of 2010When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead]] along with a few other suggestionsis easy to read and about time travel, friendship, and redemption - age old themes, but we never tire of their retelling.

If you'd like to look at some teen books yourself then have a look at our [[Top Ten Teen Books That Adults Should Read]]. For an engrossing and intense look at London during the punk explosion in the 1970s have a look at [[Naked by Kevin Brooks]]. We say our obsession with image is something new, but is it? As ever with Brooks, this one comes recommended.  For fans of paranormal romance the best ongoing series is probably the [[Beautiful Chaos by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl|Beautiful Creatures]] series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. The third book was published this year but all three books would make a great present. |amazonuk=<amazonuk>03856135040857070959</amazonuk>
