What are some good teen books?
“Ibn al-Haytham: First Scientist” tells the fascinating, true story of a medieval Muslim scholar who overcame bouts of mental illness to develop the scientific method two hundred years before the Europeans learned of it—by reading his books. It was just chosen by California Readers to be part of the 2008 California Collection for students. You can find reviews of the book and a sample chapter at http://www.ibnalhaytham.
