Criminal Elements, fiction and nonfiction about teens who find themselves in
opposition to or on the wrong side of the law as well as stories about lives
affected by encounters with the legal system, gangs, law enforcement, and
prison.
Books That Don't Make You Blush: No Dirty Laundry Here, fiction and
nonfiction that is wholesome in nature as well as popular.
Disease, fiction and non fiction about how diseases, disorders, and other
general health-related symptoms affect our lives, from medical thrillers and
disease of the weekpotboilers, to books about mental illness, OCD, autism,
and eating disorders.
GLBTQ, this list will revisit the 1997 PPLA Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and
Transgendered list, updating it with a more contemporary viewpoint (adding
the "Q" for questioning) and availing itself of the wealth of new fiction
and nonfiction available on the subject.
