A fast-growing area in fiction for the young, genre blends allow
for new possibilities and ideas, stimulating children's
imaginations. This helpful guide orients readers' advisory staff,
educators, and collection development librarians with a hand-picked
selection of hybrid genres and novels published since 2000. It's no
wonder that genre blends are some of most popular books for
children and teens. When you mash up two different traditional
genres, it's like doubling what makes each one pleasurable on its
own. This guide, the first of its kind, will help public and school
librarians, teachers, and collections staff identify genre blends
for readers' advisory, curriculum development, or creating core
collections. Profiling more than 200 titles, inside its pages
you'll learn about six of the most in-demand genre blends for young
readers, including Fantasy Mysteries, Magical Realism, Steampunk,
and Verse Novels; be introduced to each genre blend's most
compelling novels and contemporary authors; understand both book
appeal factors (such as genre and theme) and reader-appeal factors,
assisting you in matching readers with the perfect book; receive
guidance on finding genre blends for children who are facing
difficult circumstances, such as their parents' divorce, cliques in
school, lack of popularity, poor body image, or self-blame; and
find what you're looking for quickly and efficiently with the help
of succinct annotations and a thorough index.
