Try these new teen books for spring break reading and listening

Around our house, spring break usually involves hikes, day trips to museums or a long car trip to visit family.

Above all, it means finding a good book or two to devour in that precious week - plus several audio books to make traveling more enjoyable. My wife Rebecca and I try to avoid allowing our daughters to isolate themselves for hours behind an iPod, the Internet or DVDs, so we chose - or better yet, let them chose - books we can enjoy together in the car.
