Whoop! The new Teen Reads newsletter is here, and it’s bursting with fresh teen flava – book recs, reviews, and competitions:

“Ah, summer! The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER’S STONE turned 20 this week! That’s right, the book that made many of us lifetime readers and made children’s literature BIG news has been around for two whole decades. I can still remember the very first time I read the line, “Mr. and Mrs. Dursley of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.” ” – Teen Reads

If you’re in need of your own summer reads, don’t forget that there is still time to enter our Beach Bag of Books Contest, where we’re giving away seven amazing titles that we think you’ll love.
