Publisher's Synopsis
Here are booktalk programs based on themes that will grab teen's attention and hold it-from art, ecology and time travel to sex and death. You'll find everything you need to get started-from helpful instructions on the art of booktalking to program scripts that include openers, transitions, and concluding remarks, along with ready-made booktalks that you can use as they are or customize to fit your needs.
These booktalk sessions can be done in less than 30 minutes, allowing librarians and teachers in various settings to introduce titles to teens, ages 14-18, in an amount of time that can easily fit into a class period or a book club setting. Novels will be selected for their teen appeal, focusing on recent releases. Grades 9-12.
