For each book, the author notes the reading level and alternative formats, such as nonfiction, graphic novels, and journal/diary. The book summary lists name and age of the main character, setting, any special features of the book, and gives a brief plot line. This is followed by a booktalk to use or adapt, approximately five extension activities (at least one of which requires research), and an annotated list of read-alikes and related works. Grades 6-12.
