Autor Elizabeth Fraser
en Limba Engleză Paperback – mar 2020 – vârsta până la 17 ani
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.

Recenzii

This current selection deftly updates Fraser's previous two titles, Reality Rules! A Guide to Teen Nonfiction Reading Interests (2008) and Reality Rules II (2012).
A superb reference work/selection tool that should be owned by all public library systems and school divisions.. Highly Recommended.
