For my 15 year old son--
Murderbot books 2 and 3 (Artifical Condition and Rouge Protocal) (although he'll get book 2 in advance, to read on the plane)
Made You Up, by Francesca Zappia, who's other book, Eliza and Her Monsters, is his most favorite book of all
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life: a Sortabiography, by Eric Idle (which he asked for; he is a big Monty Python fan)
In Other Lands, by Sarah Rees Brennan
For my 18 year old graphic novel loving son--
The Divided Earth (Nameless City book 3) by Faith Erin Hicks
Castle in the Stars: the Moon King, by Alex Alice
Tales from the Inner City, by Sean Tan
Books for my sister (whose reading taste if fairly close to mine, which is nice for both of us)
The Key to Flambards, by Linda Newbery
The Skylarks' War, by Hilary McKay
Emily and the Headmistress, by Mary K. Harris
For my mother (whose taste is less similar to mine, but for whom I can still buy books I want to read too)
The Road Through the Wall, by Shirley Jackson
The Mitford Murders, by Jessica Fellows
And for my 15 year old nephew-Sanity and Tallulah, by Molly Brooks
Button styles
My son is getting Murderbot 3 & 4, and the Divided Earth! And my daughter is getting Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls (which we had out from the library and had to renew about four times) and Aquicorn Cove.
ReplyDeleteLooks like some great choices! I would love to have a teen in my life to gift In Other Lands to...I have little cousins who will be more exciting to buy books for once they can read independently (the oldest is only 3).
