-"Fraser fills a hole in the readers'-advisory literature with this reference on nonfiction reading interests for teens. The book annotates more than 500 titles in 11 chapters....The author also provides nonfiction and fiction read-alikes in each chapter and for many individual titles. In addition to aiding young adult librarians, this book would be useful for adult librarians who sometimes serve young adults or for small libraries with a single service desk." —Booklist

-"Will teens read nonfiction? Only if they know what's available, and this excellent guide is a great start to collection building and display to catch a reader." —Teacher Librarian

-"The emphasis is on recreational reading, and fiction read-alikes are helpfully provided in each chapter. This is another good addition to the publisher's ongoing Genreflecting Advisory Series." —American Libraries

-"Fraser's expertise is evident in this guide to suggested titles for teens. Books are arranged by genre, including adventure, crime, memoirs, autobiographies, biographies, history, science, math, the environment, sports, how-tos, the arts, and understanding and changing the world.... Additional information includes which awards the titles have won, books that both adults and teens will enjoy, books aimed at male readers, those suitable for book groups, core titles that have stood the test of time, and those for reluctant readers. Most of the titles annotated have been published since 2000, although older classic and popular titles are included. Each chapter contains a brief selection of titles under Consider Starting with, followed by Fiction Read-Alikes. The outstanding suggestions are often supported by excellent references at the end of each chapter. This book is a must-read for any teacher or librarian working with teens." —School Library Journal
