This list of authors is nowhere near complete. Of course this is partially due to my lazy tendencies, but also due to the fact that life is busy and the library has this rule that says I cannot check out every book on the planet at one time. Also, the adult section of the library somewhat frightens me because I cannot just read every inside cover and find all the books that interest me. This list is meant to be used as a reccomendation list for young readers. On the whole, these books are for younger teens but of course, it is better to read books even if they contain "younger ideas" than to not read at all.
