All These Bodies by Kendare Blake
In her newly-released book All These Bodies, New York Times bestselling author Kendare Blake creates both an unusual story and a masterful example of turning true events into fiction adaptations. In the summer of 1958, a murderous spree made headlines as it swept across three midwest states, leaving a trail of sixteen lifeless bodies and thousands of terrorized people in its wake. Loosely paralleling the grisly murders of teenage serial killer Charlie Starkweather and his girlfriend Caril Ann Fugate, Blake effectively delivers true crime and urban legend in one YA thriller.

Are you a young adult reader looking to get into the classics? Do you like the Sharks vs. the Jets theme in West Side Story? Or do you just love to read in general? Either way, this is the book for you!
S.E. Hinton's debut novel, The Outsiders, is a coming-of-age novel in first-person perspective from the view of the main character, Ponyboy Curtis. After both of his parents were killed in an automobile crash less than a year before this story takes place, Ponyboy is living with his two older brothers, Sodapop and Darry. Ponyboy is a member of the lower socio-economic group nicknamed the “Greasers,” for their greased-back hair. One night, after a major incident with the Greasers rival group, the “Socs,” short for socials (the West-side rich kids), Ponyboy and one of his closest companions, Johnny, are on the run.
