Books in Junior Library Guild - Mystery / Adventure Selection
Junior Library Guild is a book-subscription service for school and public libraries whose editors pick promising new titles before publication, so a JLG selection is a professional recommendation rather than a prize. The Mystery/Adventure category picks suspense, mystery, horror, and adventure novels for middle grade and teen readers (e.g., How to Survive a Slasher, London Calling). Best for ages 9-18.
