About the Book

Covering the genres popular with today's teens—fiction and nonfiction, including poetry and graphic novels—this resource provides 110 great book choices for young adult reading, interactive booktalks, and individual writing activities. All educators and library professionals need practical resources with easily accessible information and activities that can be immediately applied. Teen Talkback with Interactive Booktalks! is such a resource, supplying ready-to-use, interactive booktalks and curriculum connections for more than 100 recently published young adult books. This unique book is an invaluable tool for motivating teens to read. It shows how to make booktalks interactive and get teens participating in the presentation, rather than passively listening. Book selections include titles published from 2008 to 2012 organized in seven categories: Issues, Contemporary, Adventure/Survival, Mystery/Suspense, Fantasy, Heritage, and Multiple Cultures. Complete bibliographical information for each selection is included along with a literary classification as well as an age/grade level and gender designation. The read-alouds passages include talkback questions to facilitate discussion, and related works are supplied as suggestions for additional reading choices.

Review :
Full of extremely useful information, this volume has everything a busy librarian needs to hook teen readers. . . . A very helpful introduction discusses the best way to use the book, where to find more resources, and tips for great booktalks. This book will appeal to new and experienced librarians. A useful guide for even experienced YA librarians and booktalkers. . . . Experienced author and instructor Schall provides added value with 'Read Aloud/Talkback' recommendations, annotated read-alikes, and web addresses for discussion guides and book trailers. Further strengthening the book's secondary use as a readers'-advisory tool, the full index includes appeal terms alongside genres, authors, and titles. Recommended for public and middle and high school libraries. Novice booktalkers will be able to find a wide variety of books and styles. Written in a clear and effective manner and organized for easy use. . . . This booktalk guide should prove invaluable to the audience for which it was designed.
