As the school year winds down and we start thinking of our summer plans, we often include a list of books to read.  Kelly Dickinson’s booklist featured on YALSA’s (Young Adult Library Services Association) blog The Hub recommends some young adult thrillers for the coming months.  Dickinson says the novels “take advantage of careful pacing to build suspense and hook readers from their opening lines.”  The narrators of these stories are hiding secrets: “from other characters, from the reader, and from themselves.”  You can check out the post for more details on her recommended reading:

• Complicit by Stephanie Kuehn
• Delicate Monsters by Stephanie Kuehn
• The Devil You Know by Trish Doller
• Far From You by Tess Sharpe
• Pointe by Brandy Colbert
• Tiny Pretty Things by Sona Charaipotra and Dhonielle Clayton
• Vanishing Girls by Lauren Oliver
• The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma
