Summary This book provides an annotated bibliography of over 500 books that are aimed at students in the adolescent age group. Each book has been selected because it has characters who fit into an expanded definition of multiculturalism which incorporates and goes beyond multi-ethnicity to include non-traditional families, living with mental or physical illness, homosexuality, living with drug or alcohol abuse, or living with physical abuse. Part One provides practical ways to use the books in the classrooms, counseling groups, and parent/child book discussion groups. Literary Circles and possible student responses to the books are described in depth. A broad variety of other curricular uses are also presented. The core of the book is the annotated bibliography, found in Part Two. Part Three includes literary circle topics and book lists, cross-curricular topics and books lists, the science fiction/fantasy book list, an author index and a culture index. The user-friendly design of this book allows anyone working with young adults quick access to literature that will enlighten, support, promote understanding, and open the doors of diversity.
