The Right Book for the Right Reader: Podcast Competency

Often I feel that I'm constantly "selling" a book to a student. Teens enjoy reading reviews of books (more than than actual reading of the book...kind of like movie previews I suppose). Listening to another teen give reviews might just be a good way to interest a reluctant reader.

I found the following podcast of a teen reviewing books on npr.
I searched the database directly on the npr site.

The name of the podcast is "Three Books: For Teens Who Hate to Read"
by Amber Gibson
