10 awesome book trailers for must-read YA books

Check out these awesome trailers for 10 excellent Young Adult reads. Some are funny, some are cute, at least one is sort of disturbing. All of them are now on my 'must-read' list!

8. "The One and Only Ivan," by Katherine Applegate

Kept in a glass enclosure in a mall, Ivan doesn't care much about anything. He's an easy-going gorilla, interested only in his painting and TV shows. That all changes when Ruby appears. Suddenly, his silverback instincts come into play. The trailer is silent, with exception of sad music in the background. A brief explanation of the book can be read as you observe clips of what Ivan's life is like in captivity. Simplicity at its best, this trailer is sort of a tear-jerker.

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.
