Best Books for Kids & Teens, Fall 2024
The Canada Post strike has delayed the distribution of the fall issue of Best Books for Kids & Teens. With the holidays just around the corner, many of our readers are looking for the perfect gift for the young readers in their lives. While we wait for Canada Post to resume operations so that our valued members and subscribers can receive their physical copy, we are making a digital edition available. No matter who you're buying for, you will find the perfect gift in the fall issue of Best Books for Kids & Teens.

Our expert committees of educators, booksellers and librarians handpick all materials featured in the guide. They make their selections based on excellence in writing, illustration or performance, as well as what's appealing to children and young adults.

This long-running publication empowers teachers, librarians, parents and caregivers to make the most of their budgets when purchasing new books.
