Reading Recommendations from Teen Advisory Committee

Thirteen Days to Midnight by Patrick Carman

I found this book to be a great read. The very first line asks you a deep question, which still has me thinking. This book was both dark and light with a kind of fight between good and evil, but both almost on the same playing field. This book also had great imagery. Every description you could almost see while you read it. I would highly recommend this book to any book lover out there.
