It may sometimes seem that only a miracle could get some kids to read, but YA experts Patrick Jones, Maureen Hartman, and Patricia Taylor believe in some proven tips, titles, and tools to make magic happen. This unique guide shares their thoughts on why teens need to read and why so many of them don't. They show you how to entice reluctant readers, what types of books are most likely to grab and keep their interest, and how to connect different kinds of readers with different genres (graphic novels, realistic fiction, mystery, fantasy, magazines, nonfictions, short stories, and more) attract different readers. The featured lists highlight over 600 sure-fire books, magazines, and series including: Best new adult fiction for teens, best 25 books for struggling students, best literature for middle school readers, best 40 magazines, best 100 books for boys, best 25 comic books for all ages. You will also find quick and easy guidance for using booktalks (including 50 ready-to-use scripts), reading surveys, and an exhaustive bibliography of resources to consult. This all-encompassing guide may prove even more than the miracle you thought you needed.
