Books in Junior Library Guild - Mystery 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 category (2021-2024) picks whodunits and crime novels for middle grade and teen readers (e.g., The Rosewood Hunt, Two Sides to Every Murder). Best for ages 9-18.
