A “Zest” for Teen Nonfiction: Your TLT Zest Books HQ

October 29, 2012 by Karen Jensen, MLS   1 comments

During the month of November TLT is going to be talking about Teen Nonfiction and Science Fiction.  As part of our celebration we are doing a special project with Zest Books for the week of November 11th-17th.  During this week we will be reviewing several of their titles, giving you ready made programs to use with their books, and sharing some of our own personal stories inspired by their titles.
 *  Book Reviews  *  Teen Programs in a Box  *  Booklists  * Giveaways  *
If you are not familiar with Zest Books, these are great Teen Nonfiction titles because they are quick yet heartfelt teen reads that are packaged perfectly for their audience.
Oh, and did I mention that we will be having several giveaways during this week where you can win a package of several Nonfiction titles from Zest Books?  Well – we are!!!
Join us every day November 11th – 17th as we talk about the end of the world, our first crushes (and breakups) and share some amazing teen programming that includes fashion, babysitting and saving the Earth!
As we post new posts, they will be linked here for your convenience, making this your TLT Zest Books Headquarters.
