Week 7: Assignment 4
I looked at all the teen imprints and am commenting on two: Little, Brown Books for Teens and

On the Little, Brown website, I was intrigued by the Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy series.
At Mademoiselle's school for "young ladies of quality," teen girls study etiquette and espionage.
These books illustrate a continuing trend, which started with the Hunger Games, of teen girls as action adventure heroines. Also, steampunk and settings in the 1800s continue to be hot.
I also looked at Teens/Penguin Young Readers, where I noticed a continuing trend of books about disaster themes, as well as dystopian worlds and young-adult horror. Examples of this type of books include: No Safety In Numbers by Dayna Lorentz, The 5th Wave by Rick Yancy and Legend by Marie Lu.
