This examination of the literary effectiveness of young adult
literature from a critical, research-oriented perspective answers
two key questions asked by many teachers and scholars in the field:
Does young adult literature stand up on its own as literature? Is
it worthy of close study? The treatment is both conceptual and
pragmatic. Each chapter discusses a topical text set of YA novels
in a conceptual framework-how these novels contribute to or
deconstruct conventional wisdom about key topics from identity
formation to awareness of world issues, while also providing a
springboard in secondary and college classrooms for critical
discussion of these novels. Uncloaking many of the issues that have
been essentially invisible in discussions of YA literature, these
essays can then guide the design of curriculum through which
adolescent readers hone the necessary skills to unpack the
ideologies embedded in YA narratives. The annotated bibliography
provides supplementary articles and books germane to all the issues
discussed. Closing "End Points" highlight and reinforce
cross-cutting themes throughout the book and tie the essays
together.
