Winger
by Andrew Smith
Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
2013
I have FIVE copies of this great new YA novel up for grabs! For every reluctant reader--male or female--Winger delivers!
Here's what I wrote when I reviewed it:
Winger is a top-notch YA read that will resonate with readers long after they have finished it. It is that rare book that speaks to all teens, male and female. Who doesn't love an underdog? And an underdog like Ryan Dean West speaks to the humanity in all of us.

I want this. I read and loved Smith's The Marbury Lens. So creepy and evocative and just... well-written.

An excellent read for teens and, as a reminder of what it can like, for those adults who work with teens in any and all capacities. Another copy would not go astray in the FTHS underground library...
