Overview

This invaluable guide enables librarians as well as patrons and teachers to identify the best books for high school readers out of the thousands published each year. Now in its third edition, this essential resource supplies information on more than 11,000 in-print titles—most of which have been recommended in at least two reviewing journals—suitable for high school and public libraries. With its simple, thematic organization and user-friendly subject terms, it makes finding the right book easy—for librarians, teachers, and parents alike. And its inclusion of thousands of non-fiction titles helps today's educators meet the Common Core standards. This updated edition of Best Books for High School Readers, Grades 9–12 remains an indispensable resource for identifying the right book for an individual high school student's preferences, needs, or interests, and for creating reading lists for curricular and thematic library programs. It is also an essential tool for evaluating and developing the library collection. The entries provide annotations with succinct plot summaries, ISBNs, book length, price, reading level, and review citations; and indicate Lexile levels, as well as titles that are available in audio format or as an eBook version.
