Adults and Teens Reading Together
Adults and Teens Reading Together
When adults and teens read the same book, that shared experience can spark important conversations that might not happen otherwise. Tune in to hear about eight new novels that all focus in some way on teens and their complicated relationships with family members, peers, and the larger world. Also listen for information about an online resource that can help adults to learn more about the content of books their teens are reading.
