It's real, it's radical, and it rocks! Nonfiction has become the preferred genre for many teen readers, both male and female. This guide identifies some of the most popular nonfiction for today's teens, and organizes it into specific genres and reading interests that teens enjoy--from true adventure, sports and life stories, to do-it-yourself. More than 500 titles are described, with notes on classics, award winners, reading levels, read-alikes, and titles that especially appeal to boys and to reluctant readers, or are appropriate for book groups. This is an essential readers' advisory resource for anyone who works with teen readers, and a practical collection development aid. Grades 6-12. Teens read nonfiction for pleasure as much or more than adults. In recent years, librarians have become increasingly aware of the appeal of this literature and the need to offer and promote it to teen readers. This guide focuses on titles created for teens and those with strong teen appeal. The author covers more than 500 titles published since 2000, also including benchmarks and perennial classics that teens continue to enjoy. For each title you'll find complete bibliographic information, a descriptive annotation, indications of award winners, reading levels, read-alikes, titles suitable for book groups, and books with extra appeal for boys. In addition, she identifies fiction read-alikes and sure bets for each subgenre (i.e., consider starting with). A general introduction and chapter introductions discuss the appeals of the genre, working with teens, and issues related to nonfiction. This is an essential guide for any librarian who works with teens. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

Teen library services have expanded to meet an increasing teen population as teen publishing grows to meet the rising demand for reading material. Fraser is a librarian and active member of ALA and CLA, has also reviewed books for VOYA, School Library Journal, Audiofile and CM (Canadian Materials). Her expertise is evident in the compilation of this guide for librarians that offers a selection of nonfiction reading titles for teens. Genres chosen are those most often chosen by teens for recreational reading. Teens are included in the choice of texts through their work in YALSA’s Best Books for Young Adults and Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers. The text presents nonfiction titles under genres including true adventure and true crime, life stories encompassing memoirs, autobiographies, biographies, history, science, math, the environment, sports, all about you, how to, the arts, and understanding and changing the world. Each chapter presents the entries with notations indicating the book is appropriate for M (middle school ages 6-8), J (junior high school ages 11-13) and H (high school ages 14-18). Also included are notes indicating which titles have won awards, those which adults and teens will enjoy, books aimed at male readers, books suitable for book groups, core titles and those for reluctant readers. Most of the titles annotated have been published since 2000, although older classic and popular titles are included. Each chapter contains a brief selection of titles under Consider Starting With, followed by a list of Fiction Read-Alikes. The abundance of consistently outstanding texts selected is supported by excellent references included with each chapter. This book is a must-read for any teacher or librarian working with teens.
