Reading Recommendations from Teen Advisory Committee

The Talisman  Stephen King and Peter Straub

This book is a great book for young adults and adults. It does bring a lot to the table, like friendship, pain, fear, hope and life itself.

So, if you ask me , I would read this book over and over again. So, I do recommend it to read for anyone who ever wants to read a great book. It will work your imagination!
