Do you remember your first book crush? You know, the first time a book completely captured your imagination, transported you to a magical place, or introduced you to a lifelong friend you will never forget?

What's good, what's not, and what's going to hold their interest? Popular librarian Nancy Pearl points the way in Book Crush.
