... for a decade, but after reading great young adult titles Twilight, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian and Repossessed, I was curious to see how teen series have changed since I was a teen. I grew up reading Sweet Valley High, Wildfire romances and Crystal Falls. So between ... I agree that the call number should be modular with modules being of two types, say, "core" and "local".
