New Young Adult Titles

Teen Book Club for Ages 12-17

What's the Teen Book Club?

The Teen Book Club is for young people ages 12-17 who enjoy reading young adult literature. Each month, pick up a new book and some treats at the library. Return the book when you are done, keep the treats! Books are selected from the MA Teen Choice Book Award winners and nominees. These books contain more mature content and explore complex questions. Optional: share your opinion about the book by writing a book review for the library's Honest Book Reviews page.

What is the MA Teen Choice Book Award?

This is the only award in the Bay State that invites students in grades 7-12 to select their top new books of the year. The Teen Book Club will be reading last year's runner-up, 2nd place, and 1st place winners January through March (see below for titles). In March, the 2023 nominees will be announced and we will begin reading those selections. Voting occurs in September and the winners are announced in October.

What are Honest Book Reviews?

Book reviews for teens, by teens! You are invited (but not required)to become a Teen Volunteer Book Reviewer. You can even earn community service hours for your efforts. Find out more by scrolling toward the bottom of this page.

What is This Month's Book?

January's Teen Book Club selection is The Fire Keeper's Daughter by Angeline Boully.

3. Thoughtfully write and submit your Book Review here. 


4. Your Book Review will be published on the Teen Page of the library website. Reviewer first names only will be used, unless you request to remain anonymous.
