Some of the TPC's favorite books they read in 2020!

"For fans of Knives Out, this book is perfect for anyone who’s in the mood for a game or a very risky gamble." - Riley, Teen Press Corps

"A combination of love, mythology, and war that will enthrall you into the story of 4 young, lovable characters from Europe, the United States, and Olympus. Aphrodite and Ares convince Hephaestus why they go together through a story of these four mortals. A British piano player, an aspiring architect who is a soldier, a Belgian singer, and a jazz musician based in New York. You’ll feel like you’ve known them your whole life." - Rebecca, Teen Press Corps

"Legendborn was unlike most fantasy books I’ve read. The world-building was incredible– Deonn weaves a modern-day society with a magical community hidden from human sight. She blends Southern Black American history and Arthurian legend in such a unique way. Understanding the hierarchy of the Legendborn was a bit complicated at first, but as the book progressed, I was quickly able to follow along. The mystery and constant action entranced me, and the unexpected twists and turns kept me turning page after page." - Andi P, Teen Press Corps
"Surprising no one, this is my favorite book of the year. Sarah J. Maas can do no wrong." - Colleen, Teen Press Corps

"A mental-health-focused story that follows two teenagers who meet as they’re both about to jump off the George Washington Bridge, instilling hope with realism and complex characters who’s relationship feels truly fresh." - Ivy, Teen Press Corps
"A must read! Both the book and the movie are really great, informative, and spur important conversations." - Xander, Teen Press Corps

"So good! The author did an amazing job getting me emotionally attached to the characters." - Hanna Lou, Teen Press Corps

"A futuristic, dystopian novel inspired by Les Misérables. The raw characters from the different social classes will uncover not only the complexities of society in general but people as well. Not everything is as it seems, especially behind closed doors (maybe even the doors of secret societies). The mind-blowing plot twists will be the icing on the cake to why you’ll want to read one more chapter (even if your parents say it’s a school night)." - Rebecca, Teen Press Corps

"Wilder Girls is Rory Power’s debut dystopian novel about a disease at a girls boarding school. On an island. Crazy, right? The forest has never been so evil, and secrets have never been so life-threatening. Friendship is more important than ever, but so is survival. Don’t forget about our good old friend curiosity. Why not cause a little trouble when everything couldn’t get worse? Or maybe it can." - Rebecca, Teen Press Corps

"An informative and important read!" - Xander, Teen Press Corps

"This book has everything that I love; fantasy, badass female characters, unique side characters, and romance that kept me wanting more. Clare’s world building is easy to follow, and you become entranced in a world filled with half-angels, vampires, warlocks, and demons. There was an underlying mystery plot, and I thoroughly enjoyed each subplot as well. There were diverse characters that I adored, and I especially loved Cordelia. She is such a driven, brave female lead that I look up to and aspire to be like." - Andi, Teen Press Corps
"It deserves all the hype. A STUNNING novel." - Hanna Lou, Teen Press Corps
"A contemporary teen retelling of MacBeth from the Lady’s perspective that tackles assault, revenge, and the power of a coven with all the drama of a private school thriller." - Ivy, Teen Press Corps
"Gave me an appreciation for something I don't often think about: dance." - Riley, Teen Press Corps
