Excellence in Young Adult Fiction

We believe that everyone should read YA nonfiction!


Compared to adult nonfiction, YA nonfiction more accessibly captures the essence of the subject at hand, all while maintaining a high-level of quality and reliability. No more impenetrable and dense tomes - these well-paced and compact texts are a great starting point for further inquiry.


These YALSA Excellence in Nonfiction Award winners and finalists encompass a wide field of interests that range from a graphic design guide, to lost pirate ships, to the 1968 Olympics and so much more!
