ABSTRACT

Designed for use by junior high and middle school

students, this annotated bibliography of over 1,100 titles of fiction and nonfiction also serves as a resource for teachers, librarians, and parents in search of titles that might catch the attention of such students. The bibliography presents annotations of books published or reissued in 1993 and 1994. Each entry contains the author, title, name of publisher, publication date, length of book, ISBN number, 7-8-line synopsis of the book. Titles are grouped by subject matter under 7 sections: (1) Growing Up;(2) Imagined Lands; (3) Shudder and Shake!; (4) People, Problems, and Places: Yesterday and Today; (5) Science All around You;(6) Words To Remember; and (7) Facts, Figures, and Fun. In addition to a directory of publishers, and author, title, and subject indexes, the bibliography includes 2 appendixes--a 100-item list of the most notable books published between 1967 and 1992 of young adult literature; and a list of the books included in the annotated list which have won awards.(RS) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made

About the NOTE

Bibliography Series

The National Council of Teachers of English is proud to be part of a pro- cess that we feel iS important. It begins when an educator who knows literature and its value to students and teachers is chosen by the NCTE Executive Committee to be a booklist editor. That editor then works with teachers and librarians who review, select, and annotate hundreds of new trade books sent to them by publishers. It's a complicated process, one that can last three or four years. But because of their dedication and strong belief in the need to let others know about the good literature that's avail- able, these professionals volunteer their time in a way that serves as an inspiration to all of us. The members of the committee that compiled this volume are listed on one of the first pages, and we are grateful for their hard work. In our bibliography series are five different booklists, each focused on a particular audience, each updated regularly. These are Adventuring with Books (pre-K through grade 6), Kaleidoscope (multicultural literature,

grades K through 8), Your Reading (middle school/junior high), Books forYou (senior high), and High InterestEasy Reading (middle school,

junior/senior high reluctant readers). Together, these volumes list thou-sands of the most recent children's and young adult trade books.

Although the works included cover a wide range of topics, they all have one thing in common: they're good books that students and teachers alike enjoy. Of course, no single book is right for everyone or every purpose, so inclusion in this booklist is not necessarily an endorsement from NCTE. However, it does indicate that the professionals who make up the booklist committee feel that the work in question is worthy of teachers' and stu- dents' attention, whether for its informative or aesthetic qualities. On the other hand, exclusion from an NCTE booklist is not necessarily a judg- ment on the quality of a given book or publisher. Many factorsspace, time, availability of certain books, publisher participationmay influ- ence the final shape of the list. We hope that you will find this hooklist a useful resource in dis- covering new titles and authors, and we hope that you will collect the other booklists in the NCTE series. Our mission is to help improve the vi

teaching and learning of English and the language arts, and we feel the quality of our booklists contributes substantially toward that goal. We think you will agree.
