Talking about books with teens in Russia

The Wrappers met some Russian teens via Skype and talked with them about favourite books. Luckily for us the Russian students learn English so we could understand each other.  We didn't know many of their favourites and they didn't know many that the Wrappers had picked as their individual choices.  However there were some popular books they both knew and liked, especially books that appear on 'best seller' and 'most borrowed from the library' lists in New Zealand. Those books included the Divergent series, the Fault in our Stars and Harry Potter.
