In Radical Reads, Joni Richards Bodart identified 101 young adult
books that featured gritty, complex plots, focused on
multidimensional characters, and tackled such difficult subjects as
teenage pregnancy, dysfunctional families, gangs, prejudice,
violence, drugs, or other provocative issues. Teen readers were
drawn to such books because they could identify with both the
characters and the situations depicted in these raw and edgy works
of fiction. In Radical Reads 2: Working with the Newest Edgy Titles
for Teens, Bodart continues where the first book left off,
examining more than a hundred titles published since the previous
edition. The books featured here are engaging and tough, yet well
written and accessible to readers. For each novel, Bodart lists the
main characters, major themes and subject areas, and offers a brief
summary. Along with providing book report ideas, she cites the
strengths of each work, excerpts important reviews, and lists any
awards the book has received. Indexed by author, title, subject,
curriculum area, reading level, interest level, and genre, Radical
Reads 2 is an indispensable tool for librarians, teachers, and
parents alike, and will appeal especially to teens looking for
relevant and topical fiction.
