2022 NCSS-CBC Notable Social Studies Trade Books List: Ninth to Twelfth Grade

The Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People is an annual project of the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) and the CBC running since 1972. This bibliography features K-12 annotated titles published in the previous calendar year that are exceptional books for use in social studies classrooms, selected by social studies educators. The selection committee looks for books that emphasize human relations, represent a diversity of groups and are sensitive to a broad range of cultural experiences, present an original theme or a fresh slant on a traditional topic, are easily readable and of high literary quality, and have a pleasing format and, when appropriate, illustrations that enrich the text. You can find a preview of the 2022 Notable Social Studies Trade Book List here. The final list will be published in the May-June 2022 issue of Social Education and promoted at the NCSS Annual Conference.
