A guide to reading interests of GLBTQ teen literature.

Aimed at librarians and readers' advisors who serve teens, this is a guide to outstanding reads for GLBTQ teens, for straight teens with an interest in the subject, and for GLBTQ friends and family. It provides some 300 fiction and nonfiction suggestions, including poetry, drama, and graphic novels; and organizes them according to genre, subgenre and theme. Each entry includes a brief description of the work, a code for the type of characters it includes (G, L, B, T, and Q), indication of reading level, and full bibliographic information. Award-winners and titles that have audio and film versions are indicated. Lists of keywords follow the entries. Resources for further study enhance the volume, making this an indispensable guide for any library that serves teens.
Carlisle K. Webber is young adult services coordinator at the Bergen County Cooperative Library System, Hackensack, NJ.
Reviews
"This resource will help librarians develop their teen collections and assist patrons in discovering gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questions (GLBTQ) titles. . . . well-written and relevant."—Young Adult Library Services

"This entry in the Genreflecting Advisory series provides an excellent starting point. An informative and insightful introduction is followed by six chapters providing book lists by category—arranged in alphabetical order by the author. . . . A sound purchase for public libraries but especially useful for high school librarians."—Booklist

"This slim volume will be a welcome guide for librarians who want to diversify their collections with current materials or who need readers' advisory assistance for their patrons."—School Library Journal
