As of July 1, 2002, one hundred and five books have been nominated for Best Books for Young Adults. Books will be discussed at the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Philadelphia this winter.

New nominations are posted on the first of each month throughout the year.

Nominations from the field are encouraged. Please visit the YALSA Best Books website for details, including the policies and procedures. Books must be published between Sept. 1, 2001 and Dec. 31, 2002 to be eligible for BBYA, although field nominations may only come from titles published in 2002.

If you or your teens would like to comment about any of the nominated titles, please send your comments to one of us and they will be shared with the BBYA committee.

Thanks!
