Each year the Young Adult Reading Program (YARP) Committee of the South Dakota Library Association publishes a list to promote quality literature and to help South Dakota teachers and librarians in selecting and promoting books for adolescents.
The books are selected from among the many young adult and adult books that have received positive reviews by national reviewing periodicals.
This list is recommended for teens grades 7-12
