This week, Courtney and Erin talk about two fun contemporary novels: Field Guide to the North American Teenager by Ben Philippe and This is Kind of an Epic Love Story by Kheryn Callender. They talk fitting in, teen romance, character and more. They also answer two questions from the Jar of Teen Angst: Who were you jealous of as a teen and what musical genre best describes your upbringing? And one library life question: What made you want to work in libraries and did you take specialized classes in school? And don't forget, you can join the conversation, share stories, ask questions about library life or add questions to our Jar of Teen Angst by emailing us at teentitletalk@gmail.com.

Hold onto your Old Tech because Brenna and Joe are on the run from London and the other Traction Cities as they tackle Phillip Reeves' 2001 novel Mortal Engines, as well as 2018's significantly less interesting film adaptation by Christian Rivers. The text has fascinating colonialist and caste implications that are mostly abandoned in the film, in favour of pretty CW-styled actors and a really bad hairpiece by Hugo Weaving's villain. Come for the discussion about the impressive visual rendering of Municipal Darwinism and stay for Joe's invention of a brand new Harry Potter pre-quel franchise. Oh, also, this podcast is not dedicated exclusively to Robert Sheehan. Plus, in the News segment: Brenna strongly recommends the Netflix series One Day At A Time, as well as Ben Filippe’s The Field Guide to the North American Teenager while Joe preps for the latest Canadian YA author interview with Tanaz Bhathena’s The Beauty Of The Moment.

Does anyone in high school really know themselves?  That's one of the subjects explored — via laughter — by this week's guest Ben Philippe, who dropped by our studio to talk about his wonderful debut novel The Field Guide to the North American Teenager.  It's  the story of a sharp-tongued and cynical black French Canadian boy who is transplanted to a Texas high school —  with appropriately complicated, and often hilarious results.   It's one of Barnes & Noble's Discover Great New Writers selections for Spring 2019, and the author was joined this week in the studio by Discover director Miwa Messer, sitting in for our regular host Melissa Albert.

This week we are joined by our teacher friend Carissa Peck as we chat about The Field Guide to the North American Teenager by Ben Philippe. (Transcript) In today’s episode… When Norris’ mother gets a job as a professor in Austin and his father “can’t quite fit a teenager” in the same house as his new wife and baby, Norris knows he’s in for a culture shock. After all, he’s seen tons of TV shows and movies showing what it’s like in American high school, and he knows that a black French Canadian is bound to have a hard time fitting in. He chronicles his anthropological observations of his new classmates in a journal, and is determined to keep his mouth shut. Maaaybe. Will Norris ever make friends in this cultural wilderness? Will he ever […] The post The Field Guide to the North American Teenager by Ben Philippe appeared first on Nouvelle ELA Teaching Resources.
