Top Ten Tuesday: Holiday Reads

Posted in Top Ten Tuesday by

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and Bookish and hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl where we get a new topic for a top 10 list.

Confession. I don’t read a lot of books that have school settings. I don’t know why I don’t but I know I’m more of a summer contemporary, fantasy adventure girl. However, there are a few school set books that I have enjoyed and think do a good job of navigating the issues that teens face in school. These are the books I have read and plan on reading that are set in school.
