On the other hand, well, it’s super easy to forget the full titles, to confuse them with one another, or to see them all as literally the same thing when they aren’t.Īnd then there are times when book titles are coincidentally the exact same thing. Chances are, those trends emerge within a genre or type of mood within a book and therefore, make it easy to connect books to a reader who likes something similarly titled. On one hand, these are super helpful trends from a reader advisory perspective.
Right now, we’re in the midst of a host of YA book titles about the Queen of blank-and-blank, with lots of shadows, lots of dust, and lots of thorns, thrones, and crowns sprinkled in. We’ve also had ups and downs with the title trend of threes: Kale, My Ex, and Other Things To Toss In A Blender Airports, Exes, and Other Things I’m Over and others.

Look to Tammar Stein's Light Years (Knopf, 2005) or Pnina Moed Kass's Real Time (Clarion, 2004) for a stronger sense of life in contemporary Israel. Sarah's coming-of-age experience could have happened during any summer camp or work experience, making the book accessible to a general teen audience.
The fast-paced, easy-to-read, free-verse narration captures the voice of a typical American teen. While her journey to find herself is not without hardship and challenges, and her idealistic view of Israel and kibbutz life is shattered, Sarah survives the summer transformed, with a new sense of Jewish identity, a deeper connection to the land of Israel, increased self-confidence, and a more mature awareness of her own sexuality. When her parents offer to send her to Israel for the summer, she jumps at the chance to assert her independence, reinvent herself in a new place, and live and work on a kibbutz. A self-described band geek, she is tormented by the popular clique and overburdened by her feeling that her religion is a conscious decision every day of her life. Grade 8 Up-Sarah Green, 16, is one of two Jewish students at her small Pennsylvania high school.
