Recenzii

As a readers' advisory, for collection development, and for helping the classroom teacher get the best resources, this is an excellent and well-researched book for use with the teen reader.
A valuable resource for collection development and reader's advisory.
The guide includes quick picks for reluctant readers as well as popular paperbacks. . . . Overall coverage is good.
As many states are adopting the Common Core Standards with its shift in focus from fiction to nonfiction, this guide will be especially valuable to librarians selecting content that will actively engage teen readers across the curriculum.
In summary, like its earlier companion volume, Reality Rules II is a superbly compiled reference work/selection tool that should be owned by all public library systems and school divisions in Canada. Additionally, librarians-in-training, whether school or public, could use the contents of Reality Rules II as a most engaging introduction to the wide range of nonfiction that responds to teens' recreational reading interests. . . . Highly recommended.
Fraser's descriptions of the books are concise and well-written. . . . While not a book to be read cover-to-cover, it does fill a gap in the literature and as such should be purchased by any young adult librarian looking to expand their collection. This work will also be of use in high school libraries where librarians are in need of nonfiction that works under the Common Core Standards.
Fraser, who was a member of the first committee for the YALSA Award for Excellence in NonfIction for Young Adults, provides guidance on reading levels and trends in YA nonfiction books. Recommended.
