Have you ever wondered what the best adult books for teens to read might be?

While reading rates amongst teenagers are climbing, it is clear from book sales and high school English class reading lists that they aren’t exactly reading Charles Dickens. As Lynn Neary reported on NPR, “High-schoolers are reading books written for younger kids, and teachers aren’t assigning difficult classics as much as they once did.” Probably because they want them to actually read the book.
