nprfreshair: A good novel doesn’t just transcend the boundaries of its target market — it knows nothing about target markets. … Many of these crossover “teen” novels are satisfying to adult readers because they tap into ageless themes, namely the sense that each of us longs to know who we really are in a strange, confusing and sometimes otherworldly world. As it turns out, the search for self is a lifelong one. Here are five titles for summer reading that will appeal to readers across age groups. As someone currently working (I use that term loosely) on a distinctly YA-ish novel, this thrills me. I want all these books now.
