"This resource meant for librarians consists of a comprehensive and wideranging list of 14,588 recommended books, fiction and nonfiction, for readers in middle school and junior high."—Reference & Research Book News

" Not only is the scope of this work comprehensive, but its information is also easily accessible. Comprehensive indexes allow readers to locate books by subject, title, and subject/grade level. The subject/grade level index is an especially helpful feature, allowing both librarians and young adult readers to find books on a particular subject and grade level at one glance. Because of these strengths, Best Books for Middle School and Junior High Readers is an invaluable resource for all those who make purchasing decisions or compile reading lists in the area of young adult books."—ARBA
