Attention adults! These books are not just for teens Crossover novels are a new phenomenon in publishing these days. These books are marketed for both adults and teens. Sometimes the publishers cannot seem to make up their minds. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, by Mark Haddon, was published in England as a young adult and an adult novel, but in North America, it is an adult book. The Book Thief, by Mark Zusak is considered adult in Australia, but is young adult in North America. Though many older teens migrate to the adult section for their reading material, how many adults have thought of visiting the Teen area of our library to find a good book? Here are a few recent titles that qualify as sophisticated and literary, and might well bring adults back to the Teen area for more: How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff When Daisy goes to England to visit cousins, World War breaks out and the results are catastrophic. Daisy develops an instant, deep, if forbidden, bond with her cousin Edward, but events are so overwhelming that permanent physical and emotional scarring is inevitable. This is All: The Pillow Book of Cordelia Kenn by Aidan Chambers Nineteen-year-old Cordelia writes intimately about every aspect of her life. She is a remarkable fictional creation and the reader will not forget her frank descriptions of first love, her views on art, music, books, friends, and faith, and will suffer with her as she makes mistakes and matures.
