Some of the New Young Adult Books

Slam by Nick Hornby

Sam is an ordinary kid, from a line of people who always messed up their lives early on. He loves skateboarding, talks to his Tony Hawk poster, wants to be a graphic art designer, and his love life is just starting to bloom. So he's blindsided when his ex-girlfriend Alicia reveals that she's pregnant, and that she intends to keep the baby.

Dance with a Vampire by Ellen Shreiber

Third in the Vampire Kisses series, Dance with a vampire follows Raven and Alexander through Dullsville. Raven's dream has always been to fall in love with a vampire...but she never expected it to acutally happen.

Read the manga, Blood Relatives, that goes with the sereis!
