Here is a second compilation of a huge annotated bibliography of a very popular genre of teens and adult readers. Included are lists of wizard fantasy, epic fantasy, myths and legends, fairy tale fantasy, alternate and parallel worlds, the faerie realm, creatures and beasts, travelscience fantasy, steampunk, science fiction, and the dark side. This list, of course, is for distrit libraries or public libraries to own and pass around to teacher librarians for collection development. It is a great list to use with teens and include them in the slection of titles when you may not be a fan of the genre. We have said this before, but a printed bibliography really needs to go away in favor of a regularly updated bibliography of the best of the best of any topic. Some day… This is the second edition of this book, and it updates the fiction genres that cover titles in fantasy, paranormal, and science fiction which have been published since 2006 (the first edition came out in 2006). Covering grades 6-12, this book offers a wide selection of titles that will work with various levels of readers, and includes ideas about alternative media formats that will give even more diversity of use. Good detailed subject index that will be useful, but will date quickly. no reviews | add a review

The most current and complete guide to a favorite teen genre, this book maps current releases along with perennial favorites, describing and categorizing fantasy, paranormal, and science fiction titles published since 2006. Speculative fiction continues to be of consuming interest to teens, so if you work with that age group, keeping up with the explosion of new titles in this category is critical. Likewise, understanding the many genres and subgenres into which these titles fall--wizard fantasy, alternate worlds, fantasy mystery, dystopian fiction, science fantasy, and more--is also key if you want to motivate young readers and direct them to books they'll enjoy. Written to help you master a complex array of genres and titles, this guide includes more than 1,500 books, most published since 2006, organizing them by genre, subgenre, and theme. Subgenres growing in popularity such as "steampunk" are highlighted to keep you current with the latest trends. The guide will serve three audiences. Of course, you can turn to it as you help your teenage patrons select the books and genres that will interest them most. Teen readers, whether devoted fans or newcomers, can use it themselves to find titles and subgenres they might like. In addition, the guide will help teachers and parents match students with the right books.
