Young Adult
Though the definiton of a “young adult book” is somewhat up for debate, for the purposes of this page we are defining it as books suitable for children ages 12-18 and beyond, especially those told from the perspective of characters the same age. From the most delightfully cheesy and cliche stories to the most creative and original, YA, at its best, embraces everything that we love about books. Revist an old favorite from your youth or discover something new, no matter your age.
Rascal [50th Anniversary Edition]
Rascal [50th Anniversary Edition]
A Newbery Honor Book
Celebrating 50 years of a beloved classic!
Nothing’s surprising in the North household, not even Sterling’s new pet raccoon. Rascal is only a baby when Sterling brings him home, but soon the two are best friends, doing everything together–until the spring day when everything suddenly changes.
Rascal is a heartwarming boyhood memoir that continues to find its way into the hearts of readers fifty years later. This special anniversary edition includes the book’s classic illustrations restored to their original splendor, as well as a letter from the author’s daughter, and material from the illustrator’s personal collection.
“Everyone should knock off work, sit beneath the nearest tree, and enjoy Rascal from cover to cover.”—Chicago Tribune
