Meet the Collection Monday (Tuesday Edition): Young Adult Spanish



Hello and welcome to another (belated) Meet the Collection Monday. Allow me to introduce you to our Young Adult Spanish collection, which lives on the second floor of the library on the shelf with the YA Graphic Novels. The collection consists of, you guessed it, young adult materials in Spanish. Some are non-fiction like Puberman, a comic book set up to inform boys about what they can expect from puberty. There are also other great informative books about subjects ranging from algebra to Che Guevara.

Moving on to fiction, you will find both translations and books written originally in Spanish. When I select titles for the collection, I look especially for translations of popular teen books like Alexandra Adornetto's Halo and classics that will support high school curriculum and reading lists like Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451

Some of the most popular items in the collection are graphic novels, including translations of Japanese comics like Tokyo Mew Mew and American comics like Hellboy. Come peruse the collection and find the next great book for your Spanish speaking or learning teen!
