Yesterday, we talked about the Printz Honor Award Winner Stuck in Neutral by Terry Trueman.  It won this honor in 2001, more than 10 years ago.  And in my post I mentioned that this is one of the “classic” teen titles that we need to be re-introducing to our new teen patrons.

So here’s your chance, today’s Friday Fill-Ins is an opportunity for you to share a “classic” teen title that you think we need to make sure and re-introduce new teen readers to.  You know the drill, fill in the blanks in the comments.  Be sure to check out our “Why YA?” posts for some other classics that many authors and teen librarians have felt were worth sharing.  And don’t forget, you can write your own Why YA? post and share it at TLT if you would like.

We all waited breathlessly for Timepiece by Myra McEntire and other big titles like Insurgent, but sometimes a title comes quietly sneaking up and just blows you away.  Today I share with you one of my unexpected gems, Guitar Notes by Mary Amato.  And the unexpected gem is also the subject of this week’s Friday Fill-Ins.  You know how it goes, fill in the blanks in the comments.

Since today we are talking with author Kimberly Purcell about her book on human trafficking, Trafficked, our Friday Fill-Ins is all about the issues.  Teen fiction dealing with issues is a tried and true tradition.  So tell us, what is your favorite issues book?
