K-12 education Common Core standards place a greater emphasis on the study of nonfiction literature.
To find nonfiction for YA readers at CSULB, use OneSerach, in the first box select "location" and enter "childrens nonfiction", and do a keyword search on your topic. The best way to determine whether a nonfiction book is appropriate for your age range is to go look at the books themselves.
