An essential resource for parents, librarians, teachers, and all who help guide our teens and preteens: the reading list topics speak precisely to the kinds of issues they face every day.

But when they see their struggles in storywhen they come upon a character with whom they feel true kinshiptheir sense of isolation recedes. Kids find truth in story, and often they find answers.

For my mother, who inspired me to love books, and for young readers everywhere.
Its the first day of class. I look at my students and see a wonderful garden of young people, and no two seedlings are alike. I have tulips sitting next to gardenias, and a water lily beside a cactus. I have geraniums and grasses, foliage and fruits, and even a couple of tough and sturdy weeds. None of them are the same, yet I must reach them all and teach them all to the best of my ability. Its a daunting task. Every single teacher faces this challenge, rises to the occasion, and manages to do just that.
The best teachers know, of course, that books are often the key to opening the door of knowledge for many students. Librarians, therapists, and parents know this too. We know that storytelling is a powerful way for kids to recognize themselves and others, but how can we possibly have knowledge of every book we could offer them? Melissa Hart, who is a journalist, author, and teacher, has taken the time to read and research five hundred diverse books to help us find just the right reading material for the preteens and teens in our lives.
Students today wrestle with a variety of complex issues, and reading storiesboth fiction and nonfictioncan offer them insight into themselves and those around them. The chapters in this book are thoughtfully organized by issue, and all close with two suggested reading lists: one appropriate for preteens and one for teens. The chapters deal with difficult themes, such as mental health and body image, learning challenges, sexual orientation, religion, and poverty. And while the books included here arent the only ones that explore difficult experiences, all of them were published within the last ten years; they speak to contemporary issues and offer a solid starting point for the essential human quest toward greater understanding of ourselves and others.
Its the first day of class. I have a million things to do. But now I wont have to spend hours researching books for my students to read and share because I have them right at my fingertips. They will be the water for my blooming garden of students. I dig into the list, and together we begin our yearlong journey into reading and growing with great books.
SHARON M. DRAPER
Award-winning author and National Teacher of the Year
When I was a kid, my mother worked as a book reviewer, and I got first crack at the childrens and young adult novels that arrived in the mail. Once a month, I knelt on her living room carpet and ripped open the heavy cardboard boxes, yanking off plastic tape to lift out the paperbacks within.
I was a painfully shy middle school student, anxious and depressed after my parents bitter divorce. Once I hit the high school halls and realized the wealth of extracurricular opportunities available, I morphed into a straight-A honors student who sought refuge from a dysfunctional home life on campus fourteen hours a day, involved in track practice and theater rehearsal and yearbook production. I slept maybe five hours a night. My left eye developed a permanent twitch. My head swam. At three in the morning, I lay awake trembling with fatigue. But I had books, and just as they save millions of children and teens today, they rescued me.
Along with the classics assigned at school, I devoured the contemporary novels from my mothers boxes. They showed me places and people Id never metkids in wildly different situations but with emotions I recognized as my own.
Margaret J. Andersons novel Searching for Shona offered unexpected comfort after my parents divorce. Set in Edinburgh during World War II, its the story of two evacuees who decide to trade identities. Rich, reticent Marjorie becomes Shonaa shabby intrepid girl orphan who moves in with two eccentric women and finds happiness and purpose in a small Scottish town.
Im not Scottish, and I wasnt an orphan. But I lived with my wealthy, workaholic father instead of my beloved mother who struggled to pay the mortgage, andlike Marjorie-turned-ShonaI would have happily traded my dads generous weekly allowance to run wild with the chickens in my moms vegetable garden.
As it was, I read Searching for Shona over and over until the cover fell off, knowing each time that someone in the world comprehended my plight. This intimate understanding is what we offer young readers when we hand them a book. We give them comfort and affirmation packaged within a captivating story. Books show kids new ways to live, how to think for themselves, and how to shape their future lives.
