You may have noticed a fair bit of post on youth topics this month. August 12 is International Youth Day, and we are celebrating by concentrating a little on youth, and hosting a Youth Theme Blog Carnival as well! While preparing for this theme, I thought it would be great to get some book club ideas from actual teens and so I had some moms from my networks to send me reviews from their teens. If you have a teen in the house, here are a few new book ideas for them from other teens.

Eragon, Eldest & Brisingr
The Inheritance Cycle
By Christopher Paolini

The reason I first started reading Eragon was because it had dragons and I liked the movie. The book was OK, then it got better and I started reading it more often. When I finished reading it I started reading the next book. The Eldest was even better! Now I am anxiously waiting for the third book, Brisingr, to come out. (The Inheritance Cycle Books are available from Amazon starting at $7.99)

Caught In The Act
By Peter Moore

When I go into a library, I usually just pick out a book, but when my friends told me about Caught in the Act, I thought “maybe I should check this book out”. I read the book in like 3 hours because I couldn’t stop reading, it was that good! I liked this book because it was about teens my age who are in the drama club, just as I am. The main girl in the story is really a psycho, but the main guy does not know this. It’s a drama within or part drama, part suspense story. (Caught In The Act is available from Amazon for $14)

Inkspell
By Cornelia Funke

A book that will get you dreaming of magic lands, this book is just as impressive as the first book in the Inkheart trilogy. It has twists and turns of the good and bad, and meeting new characters along the way. The Inkworld, which is where it takes place, is medieval-like with villages, castles, and princes and the incredible entertainers. The world is beautiful, though it is equally horrible, with Meggie and the rest trying to prevent Inkworld from ending unhappily. One can only hope this spellbinding story will end happily ever after. I highly recommend this book! (Inkspell is available from Amazon for $9.99)
