High Interest Easy Reading: A Booklist for Junior and Senior High School Students

Description

Designed to encourage students in grades 7-12 to make reading a habit, this annotated booklist contains over 400 titles of fiction and nonfiction books published between 1987 and 1989. It is intended for students who are able to read but lack the motivation to do so because they have not encountered books that speak to their interests and concerns. The titles represent a variety of books of high quality, some series literature, and some "fast-read" books that deal with topics of interest to the average adolescent. Titles and annotations are arranged under the following categories: (1) adventure; (2) animals; (3) biography; (4) death; (5) ethnic; (6) family life; (7) fantasy; (8) folklore and legends; (9) friendship; (10) growing up; (11) health; (12) historical fiction; (13) history; (14) how-to; (15) humor; (16) love and romance; (17) mystery; (18) poetry; (19) science; (20) science fiction; (21) social problems; (22) sports; (23) supernatural; and (24) travel. A directory of publishers is included, as well as author, title, and subject indexes. (SR)
