This is on this year’s list.<\/strong>
A read all at once, can you believe this kind of story, book. Who needs to read the daily papers? Janet Moore Hopkinton MHS
This is an excellent book. I would recommend for our final list. It will particularly appeal to reluctant reader boys. It is also definetley a book for high school (rather than middle school interests). Gail Zachariah, Keene Public Library<\/p>\n

This book was very intense, and it made me angry, so angry in fact that if it weren’t for my sister assuring me that it got better, i would’ve stopped reading it. The concept of torture and Gitmo makes me so much more angry now, because i feel like i was in it, not many teen books share that level of horrible truth. I love it.

A techno-thriller with a very deep point about government getting too powerful and what the role of civil disobedience can be in such a society. The teen boys who like to hack will love it and those conspiracy theorists out there will have a field day! We had one teen boy (a marginalized kid who is a super-computer genius) that suggested this and said it was the one book recently he just had to finish.
Amy Inglis, Barrington<\/p>\n

A great near-future science fiction novel starring The Department of Homeland Security, hacked Xboxes, flash mobs, and other cool stuff. The main character is a white male, but smart and techy kids of color and girls are also included, so it may be of wide interest. I really enjoyed reading this when it first came out, and it’s one of Doctorow’s best works. I believe it’s very relevant to today’s youth and best of all, it makes you as a reader think, as well as feel. Plus, it’s available online to read (or listen to) for free in a variety of formats under a Creative Commons license.
