Covering more than 500 titles, both classics and newer
publications, this book describes what titles are about and why
teens would want to read them. Nonfiction has been the workhorse of
many young adult library collections-filling information and
curricular needs-and it is also the preferred genre for many teen
readers. But not all nonfiction is created equal. This guide
identifies some of the best, most engaging, and authoritative
nonfiction reads for teens and organizes them according to popular
reading interests. With genres ranging from adventure and sports to
memoirs, how-to guides and social justice, there is something for
every reader here. Similar fiction titles are noted to help you
make connections for readers, and "best bets" for each chapter are
noted. Notations in annotations indicate award-winning titles,
graphic nonfiction, and reading level. Keywords that appear in the
annotations and in detailed indexes enhance access. Librarians who
work with and purchase materials for teens, including YA librarians
at public libraries, acquisitions and book/materials selectors at
public libraries, and middle and high school librarians will find
this book invaluable. Identifies the best and most popular new
nonfiction reads for teens, along with perennial classics, helping
librarians with acquisitions and weeding Allows YA librarians to
more easily find books their readers will enjoy through genre
organization Helps school librarians find books that fill
curricular needs through learning connections Enables readers to
transition from beloved fiction "read-alikes" to nonfiction titles
with similar appeals Introduces librarians who are new to
nonfiction genres and readers' advisory to important features of
each genre in "consider starting with" sections in each chapter
