A master storyteller, John Marsden is Australia's best known writer
for young adults. Marsden first found success with the publication
of So Much To Tell You. Since then he has gone on to publish many
popular and well-recognized titles, including those in the Tomorrow
Series and The Ellie Chronicles. In his books, Marsden explores
adolescents caught in a world of opposites, of innocence and guilt,
idealism and realism, and joy and despair. Marsden's world view and
his faith in adolescents serve as the backdrop for John Noell
Moore's critical readings of Marsden's major novels. In John
Marsden: Darkness, Shadow, and Light, Moore investigates the full
spectrum of Marsden's work, beginning with the author's life as a
teacher and writer. Throughout the book, Moore weaves together
Marsden's recurring themes, chief among them writing and
storytelling as ways of constructing identity in the transition
from childhood to adulthood and the ability of young adults to
endure hardships and overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. The
book is a valuable addition to the current scholarship on young
adult literature and will be welcomed by middle and high school
English teachers and students alike.
