Alright, so I'm currently reading a young adult book entitled Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach. When you're in the business of reader's advisory you learn that young people (and boys in general) tend to like those books that are more gruesome and feature grotesque storylines. This book delivers that along with some great potty humor. If you don't have a strong stomach and aren't into jokes about the dead then I don't recommend you pick up this book. I chose this book specifically for our assignment on creating booktrailers. Booktrailers are created to entice potential readers to pick up and read books that you (as the librarian) particularly recommend. I'm still in the process of reading the book so I'm not sure yet how I'm going to structure the trailer (although I know it's going to be full of humor). I'll keep you all updated. :oD
Until then, hang tight and keep reading!
