YA CLASSICS REVISITED
Our favorite classic novels are getting a new and updated look. Bloomsbury Classics has published a series of the old classics with bright new covers and introductions by current popular YA authors.
Did you know that Meg Cabot, author of the Princess Diaries loves PRIDE AND PREJUDICE by Jane Austen?
And who would have guessed that Darren Shan, author of the scary Cirque de Freak series would be a huge fan of Robert Louis Stevenson's TREASURE ISLAND?
Each of the classics begins with an introductory essay, "Why You Should Read This..." by a popular YA author where they explain why they love the book and why YOU should read it. You might find they agree with your English teacher.
Other titles in the collection are:
David Copperfield
Jane Eyre
Frankenstein
Wuthering Heights
Paula Cea
Young Adult Librarian
