'Dirty Girls'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
I think, though, Pix would be safe recommending anything that's marketed as YA, and shelved there, since the kids could certainly find it themselves.
That relationship in Tithe startled me, simply because whoa has YA changed since my day. I mean, back then Forever was a big deal.

Well, yes and no. There's a big difference between the girls finding books themselves in a YA section and me actively recommending them as their teacher. I think I'll stay away from Tithe as a rec, but the rest sound like they'd be fine. (My guess is that they will find Tithe anyway, but I don't like taking chances with parents with students that age.) Thanks!!
Hivemind help: Does anyone remember a YA author with a last name that started with a Z? I thought it was Paul Zimmer and then Paul Zendle but I'm getting no love.
Paul Zindel, Glam.
Thanks, Amy! Trying to include what I can remember in my reading paper and I know I read some of his stuff.
The Pigman is the only title I can remember off the top of my head, but I know I read all of his stuff at one point.
Paul Zindel website. His name was so familiar. . . titles I recall are My Darling, My Hamberger , Pardon Me You're Stepping on My Eyeball and possibly To Take a Dare and David and Della.
I don't think I actually remember reading The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man in the Moon Marigolds but wasn't it also a play or something?
Oh, God, I forgot that one! I think it was either a play of a MOW or something.
I definitely read My Darling, My Hamburger and Pardon Me... He was great.

It totally was! They did it at Rice.
My first scene in directing class was from The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in the Moon Marigolds! I love that play, although I suspect it might be a little dated now.
