Some YA authors from my "so kids will think you're a cool teacher" list in '09

Hey kids, per your request, here they are (sorry you can't access Laulima anymore). Remember, this is just a small list of the AMAZING middle grade and YA authors out there. In fact, for my syllabus this coming year, the list is way different...just goes to show how much really great reading there is out there. Feel free to keep emailing me (or checking this blog) for updates as you all start your careers as English teachers (*sniff* -- can't believe you're all grown up and leaving the nest...sigh). (= But remember, even if you're inundated with grading, lesson planning, etc. take some time to have some fun for yourself AND of course, to read a great book. It'll keep you sane. *grin*
