Bibliotherapy for Gifted Students

Some of My Best Friends Are Books, Judith Wynn Halstead's superb guide to books for gifted readers, is now available in its 3rd edition - http://www.giftedbooks.com/productdetails.asp?id=54
The finding aids allow parents, teachers, and students to find books by author, title, themes, and reading / maturity levels. The short summaries give both plot and G/T highlights. Ms. Halstead's work is the best source for:
  • Reader's Adisory for G/T patrons in libraries;
  • Summer and curricular reading list development;
  • A bibliotherapy tool for G/T counselors;
  • Gift guide for parents & friends of G/T students;
  • School library acquisitions planning;
  • Independent study by G/T readers;
  • Recreational reading for G/T kids;
