Book Chat: Genre

Genres in teen fiction are just as varying as books for any other age group.  This blog's first book, The Grimm Legacy is a modern urban fantasy title, with elements of classic fairy tales and adventure stories.  Our next book, Ship Breaker, is postapocalyptic look at the Gulf Coast region, combining action an violence with themese of environmental and social concerns.
