Teenagers with Kindles? Ebook suggestions!

Do you know a teenager with a new Kindle? Want to recommend some selected books? Well, I've found a list of books they might try. Each one is by a published author, many of us established and experienced at writing for teenagers.

Prices will vary because it's our publishers who set the prices. HOWEVER, Gillian Philip's FROST CHILD and my MONDAYS ARE RED are published by Gillian and me so we've set the price for those. (Mondays are Red was originally published by Hodder and was my debut novel but I now have the rights back. Gillian's Frost Child is an utterly superb brand new prequel to her fabulous Rebel Angels series.)

Do pass this to anyone you know whose teenager is the lucky owner of an e-reading device!

NB: descriptions written by the authors themselves, so I can't take responsibility.

MONDAYS ARE RED by Nicola Morgan. (Me!) Metaphysical thriller in an unusual style. Luke wakes from a coma to find his mind and body altered by synaesthesia.
