This comprehensive guide is designed to assist readers' advisory staff, educators, and collection development librarians in navigating the world of hybrid genres and novels published since 2000. It's no surprise that genre blends are among the most sought-after books for children and teens, as they offer the perfect blend of enjoyment from two different traditional genres.
This guide, the first of its kind, aims to help public and school librarians, teachers, and collection staff identify genre blends for readers' advisory, curriculum development, or creating core collections.

Each genre blend is explored in depth, with a focus on its most compelling novels and contemporary authors. Readers will also learn about the factors that make books appealing to readers, such as genre and theme, as well as reader-appeal factors that can help match readers with the perfect book.

To make searching for the right genre blend easier, the guide includes succinct annotations and a thorough index. Whether you're a librarian, teacher, or simply a reader looking for new and exciting books for children, this guide will provide you with the information and tools you need to explore the world of genre blends and find the perfect match for your readers.
