The number one book in the field, Literature for Today's Young
Adults, helps teachers learn how to motivate teenagers to become
life-long readers and now features the voices of two new co-authors
and ten of the authors' Ph.D. students in a thorough update of
critical topics and ideas. A comprehensive, reader-friendly
introduction to young adult literature, this book provides a look
at YA literature framed within a literary, historical, and social
context. Using this guide, teachers see how to evaluate books of
all genres, from poetry and nonfiction to fantasies, drama, the
supernatural, adventure, sports, mysteries, science fiction,
graphic novels, and more. Long respected as the leading textbook in
university English departments, colleges of education, and schools
of library science, this new edition is even more accessible than
its predecessors and includes a number of updated topics of
interest to a variety of audiences: teachers of English, reading,
social studies, and ESL; as well as librarians, parents,
counselors, and other group leaders. The challenges of using Young
Adult literature with English Language Learners is explored, while
one full chapter deals with Digital and Other New Literacies for
Teachers and Librarians (new Ch. 3), and the final chapter (12)
focuses on the increasingly important topic of censorship.
