How do you motivate young adults to read more and better books? Though much attention in recent years has been focused on students with reading problems, little aid has been available to professionals and parents concerned with the capable, if too often unmotivated, reader. "Fiction for Youth: A Guide to Recommended Books" is designed to help solve this problem. It is a basic core collection and guide for those working with young people who would read more books if stimulated to do so. The best of juvenile and adult fiction for young adults is made accessible through the lively annotations.
