April 16th is Support Teen Literature Day! Support Teen Literature Day is a day of recognition of young adult books within the larger celebration of National Library Week (going on all this week). There are tons of fabulous and prize-winning young adult books out there, and more being created all the time. Come to the library, read a book, and celebrate!
Marcelo's dad wants him to live in "the real world," but Marcelo believes his world is real enough. If he wants to have a choice in where he spends his last year of high school, however, he has to spend the summer working in the mailroom of his father's law firm. Marcelo is certain he will loathe every minute, but that's before he meets Jasmine, the mailroom supervisor. And before he sees the photograph of the girl, a picture he was never meant to find.
Check out the book trailer for Marcelo in the Real World.
