Editorial Reviews

This title follows the same successful format as Rip-Roaring Reads for Reluctant Teen Readers (Libraries Unlimited, 1993). Featuring 40 "spellbinding" books for middle school and high school students, the entries include author information; complete bibliographic citations; genre, theme, and reading and interest-level designations; review citations; plot summaries; and sample booktalks. In addition, related activities involving the Internet, folklore, oral histories, debates, and research supplement each entry. The useful reproducible bookmark pages with black-and-white illustrations generally highlight 10-to-12 high-interest titles each. A book that's sure to become as invaluable as its predecessor.-Jana R. Fine, Clearwater Public Library System, FL Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
