Organized around the theme of challenges, the eleventh edition of Your Reading: An Annotated Booklist for Middle School and Junior High offers annotations of more than 1,200 books for young adults. Teachers, librarians, parents, and students will find good, recently published books that can be read for many purposes—for the 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. Searching and browsing are made easy by indexes that provide alphabetical listings by author, subject, and title. This booklist is a valuable resource for those who seek to connect young people with books that will demonstrate that they are not alone—that they face challenges others also face.
