Sean Covey's 'Seven Habits for Teens' Joins Bestsellers

NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey, former BYU quarterback and son of guru Stephen R. Covey, made the Publishers Weekly Children's bestseller list for February, putting Covey's book once again on the bestseller lists. Like his father's management classic, Sean Covey's book continues to sell well, even though it isn't as recent as most bestsellers.

The other Mormon titles appearing on bestseller lists have continued to drop down the lists, and off of some altogether. Orson Scott Card's "Enders Shadow," on recent bestseller lists after a paperback edition was introduced, has dropped off the lists, and the hardover of his new book, "Shadow of the Hegemon" remains on just two lists. Meanwhile, Anne Perry's "Whitechapel Conspiracy" dropped off the USA Today list, but joined the New York Times' list, possibly reflecting the Times' delay in publishing the results of its survey.

The current titles on bestseller lists are:

Nothing Like it in the World, by Stephen Ambrose

A history of the building of the transcontinental railroad in the US. Ambrose, a highly regarded historian, details the involvement of Mormons in building crucial portions of the road, including the driving of the "golden spike" in the heart of Mormon territory.
