Other submissions were made based on the outstanding quality of writing or the compelling stories told. The list is by no means exhaustive or scientific, but it reflects the enthusiasm and passion teachers have for literacy and reading.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>BCTF has created a new web page called <a href=\"http:\/\/bctf.ca\/100bestbooks\" target=\"_blank\">bctf.ca\/100bestbooks<\/a>, which has links to every book to help visitors access descriptions and the publishers\u2019 information. The release of the two lists in September coincided with International Literacy Day, which was Sept. 8.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI encourage all teachers and others who love a great read to explore these best book lists,\u201d said Hansman. \u201cThere is some excellent diversity represented and it shows how rich the genres of children\u2019s and young adult literature are.
