Booklist Review

Containing some holdovers from the 1979 edition [BKL Ap 15 79], Walker's new guide to ``stepping stone'' books for teenage readers features more than 80 kid-tested titles, most published since 1980. Aimed particularly at good junior high readers, the titles listed and organized alphabetically by author are a ready mix of fiction and fact, including romances, mysteries, and war stories alongside such books as Eric W. Johnson's Love and Sex in Plain Language and They Cage the Animals at Night, Jennings Burch's moving account of an abused child. For each entry, Walker provides details of plot or content, notes on appropriateness or special appeal, specific pages for booktalking, and titles of related interest. Indexed by subject and title. First published in 1957. SZ.
