I read a lot of books, and the vast majority of those books happen to be Young Adult novels. However, many of the YA books I read are often quite cliche, predictable, and feel overdone. For the past two years, I've been on a tireless search for some solid YA authors with thought-provoking, original stories. One of the gems I have discovered along my journey is David Arnold. I've read all three of his novels, and his work never ceases to amaze me. His stories are thoughtful, heartwarming, and beautifully written. While reading his books, I'm always sure to take note of quotes that intrigue me. Because I feel that David Arnold deserves more recognition and praise, I thought I'd do my small part by sharing some of my all-time favorite quotes from his books.

These are only five of my favorite quotes, but there are plenty more poetic slivers of wisdom to be discovered between the pages of David Arnold's three existing novels. If these excerpts intrigue you, I wholeheartedly recommend that you give Arnold's books a try. Trust me, you won't regret it!
