One of the hardest and most exciting parts about teaching English to homeschooled teens is picking which books to cover. You will get guidelines from the curriculum and can take other factors into account (the student's tastes, what you are covering in other subjects, etc.).
Here are a few book reviews of young adult books that I've read. There's a wide variety of styles and topics here. Hope they're helpful to someone.
