There's one month left of KCLS's Read 3, Get 1 Free Summer Edition. Teens in middle school, junior high or high school can participate, and all they need to do is pick up an entry form, read 3 books, write 3 short reviews, and come into any KCLS branch to get a free paperback book. The books we have for this program are brand-new paperbacks, and we have many popular titles to choose from. Teens will also be entered in a monthly prize drawing at their branch, and they'll be entered in the system-wide grand prize drawing for a laptop. Read 3, Get 1 Free Summer Edition ends August 31.
Here are a couple of Read 3 reviews from teens at the Black Diamond Library.
Happy Reading!
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie
What is this book about? Junior is a Spokane Indian that gets advice from his teacher and decides to make his life better. He goes to Reardon, the mostly white high school outside the reservation, so he'll be able to do better.
What did you like about it? Junior is a funny, eager adolescent who is unforgettable and cute. I love him! Some of the jokes are kind of dirty, but you will pee your pants laughing. The story is true to life, captivating, and heart touching.

Love is Hell by Melissa Mar et al
What is this book about? This is a book with many different stories about love, ghosts, insanity and how they all fit together.
What did you like about it? This was a really good book. I was familiar with most of the authors that contributed (Scott Westerfeld, Justine Larbalestier, Gabrielle Zevin, and more) so that made it even better.
