Nonfiction - All of the information in a non-fiction book is based on the known true facts. Nothing can be made up. Non-fiction books include how-to books, science books, history books, biographies, autobiographies and much more. Non-fiction books can be about any subject.
Biographies and Autobiographies
Realistic Fiction - Fictional stories that take place in modern time, right here and now. The characters are involved in events that could really happen.
Mystery/Suspense - Fictional stories, usually realistic, about a mysterious event which is not explained or a crime that is not solved until the end of the story to keep the reader in suspense.
Adventure - Adventure fiction is distinguished by fast-paced, continuing action as well as the heroism and desperate survival of the main character. There are many types of adventure stories, such as disaster adventure (involves a natural disaster such as an earthquake or natural phenomenon), espionage adventure (spies and secret agents), exotic adventure (in far off places), military, survival, thrillers (lots of action and narrow escapes).
Fantasy - Fiction that contains elements that are NOT realistic, such as talking animals, magical powers, etc. Make-believe is what this genre is all about.
Science Fiction - Stories which include futuristic technology; a blend of scientific fact and fictional elements.
Historical Fiction - Stories which take place in a particular time period in the past. Often the basic setting is real, but the characters are fictional.
Poetry - Poetry is verse written to create a response of thought and feeling from the reader. It often uses rhythm and rhyme to help convey its feeling.
Novels in Verse (part of the poetry genre) - Occasionally a novel may be written in free verse form and is found in the fiction section of the library, or a picture book of a poem.
Anime/Manga - Manga are Japanese comic books. Manga is often made into Japanese cartoons, or Anime. The art in Anime and Manga has a very definite look to it and is often referred to as “Manga Style.” In libraries these are also sometimes referred to as graphic novels.
