More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Organized around the theme of “challenges,” the 11th edition of “Your Reading” offers annotations of more than 1,200 books for young adults. Intended for teachers, librarians, parents, and students, this booklist presents recently published books that can be read for many purposes–for sheer enjoyment of the story, to pique curiosity or satisfy it, to find new information or confirm old, to complete school assignments, or for the exhilaration of escape. It is divided into the following parts: Foreword (Joan Bauer); (1) Challenges of Coming of Age (Families; Friends and Peers; Identity); (2) Challenging Our Lives (Adventures and Survival; Obstacles, Barriers, and Opportunities; Sports and Recreation); (3) Challenging Our Imaginations (Mysteries and Suspense; Fantasy and Supernatural; Arts, Architecture, and Other Creative Endeavors); (4) Challenging Our Minds (Science and Technology: Fact and Fiction; Health, Medicine, and Nutrition; Nature, Animals, and the Environment); (5) Challenges of Today’s World (Diversity; Problems and Issues; Geography and Cultures); (6) Challenges of Yesterday (Historical Fiction; Historical Nonfiction; Folktales, Myths, and Legends); and Afterword (Joyce Hansen).
