  • Published in 2004, the first edition of Best Books for High School Readers provided librarians with an extensive list of recommended titles for youth in grades 9-12. This supplement brings that reference up to date, covering titles published between early 2004 and the middle of 2006. Over 2,500 annotated entries are organized by literary type or subject/theme.

  • They are trusted resources especially when topic and genre are paramount in one's search for just the right title or focused collection. Highly recommended.
