Abstract:

This superb selection guide helps you provide the best in recreational & curriculum-based reading material for your patrons in grades 7-12. Combining the popular Best Books for Junior High Readers & Best Books for Senior High Readers into one updated new resource, Best Books for Young Adult Readers features more than 6,500 titles sure to stimulate teen readers & link literature with learning. Each entry provides: Recommendations from leading journals. A brief descriptive annotation. Bibliographic information, awards, review citations, & more. A clear subject classification scheme enables teachers, librarians, & media specialists to confidently select the right book for every reading level & application. For work with ages 12-18. A guide for librarians, teachers, and other media-related professionals to both curriculum-related and recreational reading for students. Based on recommendations from several respected sources, describes over 6,000 titles, of which about a third are fiction. Excludes general reference works, professional books for librarians and scholars, and mass market series. Replaces Gillespie's two 1991 volumes in the series, and incorporates changes in the ethnic and class profile of students and new theories of education. Also provides full citing and annotations for all titles, rather than the abbreviated and appended treatment some received in the earlier volumes.
