  • This supplement covers more than 2,600 recommended fiction and non-fiction titles for children in grades 6-9 that have been published since the first edition came out in 2004. Most have been recommended in at least two sources. The volume is organized thematically into 11 main categories (biography, the arts, history, and so on) which are then further divided and subdivided by topic (for example, sports figures, music, and ancient history). In addition to basic bibliographical information, entries contain review citations and brief annotations.
