And FEVER 1793 proudly sits on the
2006 Popular Paperbacks for Young Adults List, chosen by YALSA, the Young Adult Library Services Association of the American Library Association.
I love the way this committee organizes the list. It comes up with fun, funky categories every year. Check out this year’s (descriptions stolen from the committee’s press release):
“Books That Don’t Make You Blush: No Dirty Laundry Here” Books that are fun to read and appeal to all teens.
“Criminal Elements” Fiction and nonfiction about teens that find themselves in opposition to or on the wrong side of the law, as well as stories about lives affected by encounters with the legal system, gangs, law enforcement, and prison.
“What Ails You?” Fiction and nonfiction about how diseases, disorders and other general health related symptoms affect our lives. (This is the list that FEVER is on.)
“GLBTQ” Contemporary fiction and nonfiction for teens of all persuasions.
If you’re looking for something good to read, I strongly suggest you print out the list and take it to the library with you.
