Today's young adult literature is every bit as complex as the
audience it's written for, unflinchingly addressing such topics as
homosexuality, mental illness, AIDS and drug abuse. In this much
expanded revision of his 1996 book, veteran author Michael Cart
shows how the best of contemporary YA lit has evolved to tackle
such daunting subjects without resorting to sensationalism. He
brings his historical survey of this category fully up to date,
covering its explosive growth in the past decade, and advocating
that librarians and teachers look beyond romance and horror when
advising young adults. This survey helps YA librarians who want to
freshen up their readers' advisory skills, teachers who use novels
in the classroom, and adult services librarians who increasingly
find themselves addressing the queries of teen patrons by covering
the following: Reading habits of today's teens, Influence of new
technologies and formats, New YA lit awards, This insightful and
often humorous work presents the evolution of YA lit in an
appealing way, making it equally useful for students of literary
studies. You'll definitely update your recommended ""to read""
lists after a spin through Cart's advisory.
