What other authors and titles would you suggest for this category -
please add your ideas in blue. For this project we need to identify 500 children’s and young adult fiction titles which together are indicative of a healthy fiction collection. This is not a shopping list of titles, but an indicative list. There will be a very broad range of titles in this list from the very popular to the very literary.
Find out more about the project here.
Please add your suggested authors and titles to the wiki in
dark blue. Do not delete or edit (unless to correct spelling) the work of others as we need as many suggestions as possible so that the final list is indicative and robust.
