Very imformative book

I have never thought I could find a book that was packed with so much information! With over 1000 pages of book titles, authors and discriptions, it is easily a book I know I can trust. Best of all, all of its books are just for teens(Ages 12-18)! With all the books out these days that focus on trash, it's really hard to find a good book to read, in my opinion. I'm a book-loving teen, myself, constantly searching for a new book. The reason I like this book is because with so many titles, with descriptions, to choose from, I don't have to spend a lot of time at the library like I used to. =)
