Teen lit picks

Two Twin Cities authors received an important honor this year: they each have a book on a list of works recommended by teen readers. John Coy says he's trying to fill a need for sports books that appeal to boys. David LaRochelle's recommended book describes the coming out of a gay teen.

John Coy: Author of "Crackback."

David LaRochelle: Author of the young adult book, "Absolutely, Positively Not." His latest picture book for children is "The End."
