The Young Adult Library Services Association: The list of 85
books, drawn from 216 official nominations, is presented annually
at the ALA Midwinter Meeting. The books, recommended for those
ages 12-18, meet the criteria of both good quality literature and
appealing reading for teens. The list comprises a wide range of
genres and styles, including contemporary realistic fiction that
reflects the diversity of the teen experience, nonfiction that
brings to teens an awareness of the world they live in and its
history, and fantastical stories told in both narrative and
graphic formats.
