Summer Reading Game book recommendations (Fiction books)

Summer Reading Program starts on June 18, and that means that teens will be able to start working on their game board!  Game boards include types of books to read and programs to attend in order to be eligible for a free book and a chance at our Grand Prize Raffle baskets (that include MP3 players, numerous gift cards, pizza vouchers, CDs, pens, and more!).  The game board requires books within certain genres and criteria to be read, so I'm going to create these lists with some handy suggestions to help you pick out a good book that will earn you a stamp!

Fiction books suggestions:
