Teen Read Week 2010

Books with Beat

Our chilling Teen Read Week image of Horatio by Darlene Wanglund

This year the theme of Teen Read Week is Books with Beat.   While many libraries are looking at a more musical interpretation of the theme we have a little scarier take.  Here at MonsterLibrarian are offering up titles that will make the reader’s heart beat a little bit faster.  For we all know that nothing gets the heart beating faster than a good scare.   So this week if you are a teen take a walk on the spooky side of literature and read a good book.
