500 Great Books for Teens -- October 2006 500 Great Books for Teens In October of 2006 Houghton Mifflin published 500 Great Books for Teens. Having spent 35 years reading approximately 125,000 children's and young adult books, Anita Silvey has identified several hundred titles that will keep teenagers motivated and excited about reading. Although thousands of books for teens gets published every year, no general reference book about them exists. 500 Great Books for Teens will help parents, teachers, booksellers, librarians, and teens themselves find the best titles for their own needs. Divided into twenty-one sections reflecting teenage interests, the books selected include the best stories, the most compelling characters, and the most imaginative language. These volumes often cause teenagers to say, "The only bad part came when it ended." During 2008 Anita Silvey continues her lecture tour about this book and 100 Best Books for Children. An incredibly articulate, funny, and exciting speaker, she has lectured to audiences across the United States and Canada. As Publishers Weekly has said, "It would be hard to find a more authoritative voice than Anita Silvey."
