What a great discussion we've had of new fantasy books, as well as some old favorites, thanks to all of you. Since we're a little past the midway point in the month, it's now time for us to turn to the next topic: life-changing books. We've all heard that books change lives. How have they changed yours? We invite you to share stories of children's or young adult books that made a difference in your life. Maybe it was a title that made you feel less alone as a child. Maybe it was a book that helped you understand something about the world in which you lived. Maybe it was a book that launched you into your chosen career. What books from your own childhood or young adulthood made a lasting difference? What children's and young adult titles have you found significant in your adult life? And if you are lucky enough to know of a book that has made a real difference in the life of a child or teen today, share that too!
