    —Christian Library Journal     March 2005
  • This gigantic directory of young adult book titles was created to help professionals (school and public librarians) select and develop collections for older teens....This book should be an essential guide for junior high gifted and the target high school or public library collection development.
    —VOYA     April 2005
  • Designed to help librarians with collection analysis and development, the book can also be used for reader's advisory. Librarians would als be able to accomodate teachers in creating bibliographies for curricular units of study....This is a particularly useful reference for librarians new to librarianship, or to the high school level, as well as for those librarians who have limited budgets but want to maintain a diverse, high-quality collection. Recommended.
