Comprehensive and substantial ... a highly recommended resource,"
raved VOYA about the third edition. Now, to keep pace with changes
in the field of publishing and realign itself to the newest
generation of young adults, Cart returns with a sweeping update of
his classic text. Relied upon by educators, LIS instructors and
students, and practitioners for its insight and thoroughness, his
book: surveys the landscape of YA lit both past and present,
sketching out its origins and showing how it has evolved to deal
with subjects every bit as complex as its audience; closely
examines teen demographics, literacy, audiobooks, the future of
print, the role of literary criticism, and other key topics;
provides updated coverage of perennially popular genre fiction,
including horror, sci fi, and dystopian fiction; delves deeply into
multicultural and LGBTQIA literature, substantially updated in this
edition; features expansive interviews with best-selling authors
like Eric Shanower, Jackie Woodson, and Bill Konigsberg as well as
several publishers and leaders in the field; discusses the impact
of the Printz Award, ALAN's Walden Award, the National Book Award,
The Los Angeles Times Book Award, and other honors; and features
abundant bibliographic material to aid in readers' advisory and
collection development. In its newest edition, this "shrewd and
thorough survey" (ARBA) is a must-have for everyone who wants to
understand where YA lit has been and where it's heading.
