Teens on the Scene — Exciting Novels for Reluctant Teen Readers

Clean Teen Reads

Clean Teen Reads

The Clean Teen Reads site is all about teens, books, stories, and of course, reading. The reason some teens shy away from reading as a pastime may not be because they don’t want to, but that reading is such a struggle for them. They’re reluctant teen readers.

In light of that fact, here’s an article that lists a number of well-written, captivating stories/novels written in what’s known as the hi/lo style. They’re designed for an easier read.

 Check out the list by clicking HERE.

If you’re a teen who struggles with reading, or you know of a teen who struggles with reading, you might want to check out this list. Let’s all be active in going the extra mile to get the right books into the hands of teens who need them — the reluctant teen readers!

Of course, I was thrilled that my hero, my hometown author, S.E. Hinton’s famous novel, The Ousiders, is included in the list.

Teens on the Scene: A New Twist on Teens & Books — Ashburn School

Clean Teen Reads

Clean Teen ReadsClean Teen Reads

This Teens on the Scene is a bit different from previous ones. Normally, I star an exemplary teen. Not so here. Read on to see what I mean.

It was a historic old schoolhouse located in Ashburn, VA. And for seemingly no reason, five teenagers defaced it with racist and anti-Semitic graffiti.

The graffiti sprayed included swastikas, dinosaurs, sexual images and the phrases “brown power” and “white power.” At least one of the teenagers said he did not know the symbolism of a swastika.

After they were apprehended, brought into court, and pleaded guilty, they received a strange, and what I feel to be, a brilliant sentence. They were ordered to read a book a month for an entire year. And not just any book. But books from a carefully selected list. This wasn’t all there was to the sentence. But read the rest in this article. 

Because the Clean Teen Reads site is all about teenagers and books, this seemed to be perfect validation that books indeed can, and do, change lives. At least this judge and these attorneys think so. More HERE.

I would love to see more judges hand down these kinds of sentencing to teens. Do you agree?
