Altadna Library gave teens 11-17 the opportunity to give a Teen Choice award to their favorite novel. The award went the 2011 novel Divergent, by Veronica Roth. The teens gave honorable mention to Black Cat, 2012; Inheritance, 2011; and Diary of a Wimpy Kid, 2007. And then – right in the middle of those books was Carrie, 1974.
So the earliest book before Carrie was 2007 -- and then they choose a book 33 years its junior. Why? Because Carrie continues to connect with readers.
Why do you think Carrie has such lasting power?
