With her usual flair and expertise, Eileen Armstrong has produced some superb annotations for challenging, exciting and thought-provoking reads. This list, which is being released in two parts, is an essential reference tool for all school librarians serving the needs of 16+ students, and covers a whole range of fiction suitable for the 16-19 age group. This is the first of several occasional publications to be produced for the SLA's website rather than in the well-known Riveting Reads booklet format. ... It is available (to SLA members only) for reading online (allowing the additional possibilities of searching, sorting and filtering) or for download in PDF format. View Riveting Reads 16-19 Part 1  

We are delighted to announce the publication of the latest title in our Riveting Reads series of booklists.  Riveting Reads 6 - 8 is intended to provide a range of suggested reading for this age group, who are perhaps at the most exciting stage in their reading lives.  Those who are bored or discouraged by the books that are available to them can often become reluctant to read. ... Prue Goodwin, former member of the SLA Executive Committee and author of this Riveting Reads title, works in the Institute of Education at the University of Reading, and freelances as a lecturer and consultant.

Another first for the SLA website!  We have today published our first online title: Riveting Reads 16 - 19 part 1, written by our Chair, Eileen Armstrong, well known for her knowledge of literature for teenage years and as UK co-ordinator of the Kids Lit Quiz. ... This title, as with others in the Riveting Reads series, is an annotated book list for this age group, but with a difference - it is available only to SLA members, as a free download, or on-line, after logging in.  Any members who have forgotten their login details are invited to contact the SLA Office in the usual ways to receive them again.
