Re: [LM_NET] TAR: Best youth fiction for high school

[Donna Steel Cook <donnasteelcook@YAHOO.COM>]

Vicki, ALA has a list called Popular Paperbacks for Young Adults.  They 
choose 4 or 5 themes each year, and then they look for great titles 
(old and new) that fit the themes.  Some past lists have these titles:
       Now That's Comedy!
       All Kinds of Creepy
       Adult Mysteries for Teens
       Romance
       Humor
   
  They've already put together some really great lists for you.
   
  Go to www.ala.org.  Then choose Awards and Scholarships at the top of 
the page.  Then choose Book/Media Awards.  Then scroll down to Popular 
Paperbacks for Teens.

  As students are coming in to check out fiction titles, they're asking 
for recommendations on young adult titles that fall into one or more of 
these categories:

funny
romance
sports
scary
mystery
action

I'm wondering which relatively new books (within the past 5 years or 
so) we don't have that students would really like. What titles do you 
have that you would recommend that students really like? I'll post a hit, 
if desired.

Thanks for your help.
