Recommended reading: Young Adult (YA) fiction and non-fiction

Non-fiction Young Adult (Lexile) books are print books that are written at levels beyond the Leveled Reader collection. Non-fiction books are based on facts. Topics might be science, current events, history, biographies (books about real people), or how-to books.

If you find you are no longer challenged by reading Level 6 / black books in the Leveled Reader collection and you like reading true stories and biographies, check out our Non-fiction Lexile books!

• Our Non-fiction Lexile books are located next to the Leveled Reader collection.
• Young Adult books are written with a "voice" reflects young adults' experiences. Voice includes point of view, vocabulary, and tone.
• Young Adult books explore themes in ways reflective of young adults' experiences.
• Young Adult books are marked with Lexile numbers. A Lexile number is a rating for how hard a book is to read. The higher the number, the more complex the word use and sentence length. CCC Library's Lexile books have stickers with numbers between 500 (easier) and 1100 (harder).
