By using this resource, any readers' advisor can help a teen find an enjoyable and well-written book....In addition to its value as a readers' advisory guide, this book can serve as a key to building a core young adult fiction collection or as a guide to purchasing for a collection that is weak in some genres....Herald's resource is recommended for all libraries, especially those with smaller budgets.
