Award Winning Books for Teens

This week, I'm sharing some award winning books for teens.  Here's a few of my favorites . . . .

Not If I Save You First by Ally Carter

Maddie thought she and Logan would be friends forever. But when her dad is a Secret Service agent, and Logan's dad is the president, sometimes life has other plans. Before she knows it, Maddie's dad is dragging her to a cabin in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness. Maddie tells herself it's okay. Until Logan shows up six years later, and she wants to kill him. But before that can happen, an assailant appears out of nowhere, knocking Maddie off a cliff and dragging Logan to some unknown fate.

Dig by A.S. King

Only a generation removed from being Pennsylvania potato farmers, Gottfried and Marla Hemmings managed to trade digging spuds for developing subdivisions and now sit atop a seven-figure bank account, wealth they've declined to pass on to their adult children or their teenage grandchildren. As the rot just beneath the surface of the Hemmings' precious suburban respectability begins to spread, the far-flung grandchildren gradually find their ways back to one another, just in time to uncover the terrible cost of maintaining the family name.

The Unfortunates by Kim Liggett

After a fatal accident, 17-year-old Grant Tavish escapes punishment due to his senator father's connections. Grant plans to give himself justice by staging an accident during a caving trip and never returning. But the cave collapses, trapping him miles beneath the surface with four other teens. As they struggle to survive, they realize something else is with them.
