				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I see from the comments when we talk about Young Adult/Teen books that there is a significant group reading these books. So I have one for you and we can meet back in about a week and discuss your thoughts.</p>
<p>Native Oklahoman,  Maya Sloan has written her first novel,<a title="High Before Homeroom" href="http://books.simonandschuster.com/High-Before-Homeroom/Maya-Sloan/9781439171295" target="_blank"> High Before Homeroom</a>. It&#8217;s based on those frustrating hormone releasing, crummy job, mom making you crazy, sibling rivalry,  teen angst years.  <a href="http://blog.newsok.com/okiereads/files/2011/01/sloan1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3122" title="High Before Homeroom by Maya Sloan" src="http://blog.newsok.com/okiereads/files/2011/01/sloan1.jpg" alt="" width="179" height="280" /></a>Not to mention all the school drama, and who doesn&#8217;t want to be one of the cool kids, if only to impress your girl. I really think it&#8217;s a good one that would appeal to male as well as female readers. I&#8217;m not quite done with mine. So far it&#8217;s LOL funny, but it tackles some serious issues.</p>
<p>Will finish during my &#8220;snow day&#8221; tomorrow, and see you back sometime at the first of next week for your take.  So especially you <a title="CYA Book Lovers" href="http://yalitlovers.oklibshare.org/" target="_blank">CYA book bloggers</a>, give this Okie author your best shot.</p>
<p>What do you think  about the book trailer?<iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/uUgiTE3IlnI" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen></iframe></p>
<p>Love the &#8220;tat&#8221;, perfect for an Oklahoma author reading binge.</p>
