Book Review: Top 250 LGBTQ Books for Teens

Abstract

This book should be required reading for anyone working with teens. Cart and Jenkins have compiled a list of LGBTQ-themed books comprising fiction, nonfiction, graphic novels, and professional resources. Both the fiction and graphic novel sections include codes to indicate whether the book’s themes include “homosexual visibility,” “gay assimilation,” and/or “queer consciousness.” Additional information about the meaning and use of these codes is presented in the appendix.
