When most people think of young adult novels, a lot of the same titles come to mind: Twilight, The Hunger Games, Divergent, and other titles.  But, as Geri Diorio points out, there are plenty of great books that just don’t receive that same publicity.  Diorio calls these ‘Quiet Books,’ and has put together a list of these for YALSA’s blog The Hub.  We’ve got the list right here, but check out the full post for summaries of the books!
