When you told me about the request for the first manuscript I probably screamed like a little school girl...hope I didn't hurt your ear. Chris and I are SO very proud of you and wish you the best of luck with this agent. It is fabulous that it has only been a few days since you've started submitting and already gotten a "bite". That is just wonderful.

Most teens, and adults for that matter, who read it say it is their new favorite! It is definitely on my list to suggest this week as well.<br /><br />Here are a couple more that I have read and would recommend! <br /><br />Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging: Confessions of Georgia Nicolson by Louise Rennison (Suggested Ages: 12 and Up)<br />Bridget Jones for the tweens & teens ; first in a British series that is very funny!<br /><br />The First Part Last by Angela Johnson (Suggested Ages: 13 and Up) (Coretta Scott King Author Award Winner)<br />Sixteen-year-old Bobby is trying to raise his baby daughter, Feather, on his own. This is an interesting, moving story from the rare perspective of a young man whose circumstances change his perspective and his priorities. <br /><br />The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie (National Book Award Winner)<br />My good friend, Larrah Craig (also a budding writer) just finished this book and said it is absolutely hilarious and that I must read it. So, I will do that soon and will report!<br /><br />Happy Reading! - JessJess Ross @ WCPLnoreply@blogger.com
