Young Adult Picks for Reluctant Readers
The Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), a division of the American Library Association (ALA) annually selects Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers, which this year identified 67 titles aimed at encouraging reading among teens who dislike to read for any reason. From that list, the committee also selects a Top Ten list. The lists include both fiction and nonfiction.
