I was turned on to book trailers by a kid I was tutoring this summer. Basically, they are short video that act like movie trailers do: they preview the book in words and pictures. It made perfect sense! Kids are constantly downloading and viewing material in videos over the Internet, so why not peak their interest in a book by presenting it in a format they prefer?
You can find loads of book trailers at the website Veoh, which is where I got this particular trailer. This is a trailer for a young adult title called Desperado Moon by Sheila Keller. The trailer gives a brief summary in a way that may appeal to the sensibilities of teen, more so then just reading a book jacket. Here is the page that links you to the video for Desperado Moon on their website.
Happy Videoing!
