  33. The Spirit of Texas Reading Program-High School http://www.txla.org/groups/SpiritofTXHighSchool

  34. The Spirit of Texas Reading Program-High School is a recommended reading list developed by public and school librarians from the Young Adult Round Table (YART). The purpose of the list is to encourage youths in grades 9-12 to explore a variety of current, quality books from Texas authors and illustrators, develop critical reading skills, and to encourage greater interaction between Texas authors and illustrators, Texas librarians, and Texas youth. 

  35. The Spirit of Texas Reading Program-High School is intended for recreational reading, not to support a specific curriculum. Due to the diversity of this age range, Texas librarians should purchase titles on this list according to their individual collection policies. Each author featured on the list has had at least one book favorably reviewed for grades 9-12 in a professional review source. Six authors will be featured bi-monthly with all programming available year round.

  36. We will start with Cynthia leitich smith http://www.cynthialeitichsmith.com/
