CANDOR is a 2010-2011 Florida Teens Read Title!

Thank you, Florida Association for Media in Education! CANDOR is on the list of 2010-2011 Florida Teens Read Titles. 

Here's the description, from FAME's website, of what this list is:

"Florida Teens Read is a list of 15 titles that have been chosen by a committee of thirteen media specialists specifically to engage high school students (grades 9 through 12) and reflect their interests as well as represent a variety of genres, formats, reading levels, viewpoints, and ethnic and cultural perspectives."

Next April, any Florida teen who's read at least 3 of the books on the list will get to vote for their favorites. 

I especially love that FAME has chosen CANDOR because it is, of course, set in Florida. (Perhaps even in a real town, hmmm?) It's also very cool to see that THE COMPOUND, by S. A. Bodeen, is on the list. CANDOR and THE COMPOUND would be a great pair to read and discuss--talk about two dads who have dragged their families into a crazy dystopian mess!
