Organized by subgenres and popular themes, this guide provides
librarians, teachers, counselors, and other education professionals
a wide range of suggested reading from the "realistic-problem
novel" subset of modern young adult literature. The fact that
adolescents are captivated by books about protagonists facing the
same fundamental challenges as them has been well established.
While many forms of literature can potentially help young adults
navigate though their development and establish their identities,
contemporary realistic-problem fiction has a unique ability to
engage and benefit the reader. The plights of the characters in
these novels are strikingly similar to the real problems and issues
that the teen reader is typically experiencing, making these books
especially appealing and powerful. This guide provides an effective
road map for librarians, teachers, and other professionals working
to guide teens through life by introducing them to books that
discuss real-world problems and issues. This Is My Life: A Guide to
Realistic Fiction for Teens focuses on stories set in contemporary
times, with emphasis on works published in the past decade,
however, this guide also includes classics and older benchmark
titles. The readings suggested range from lighthearted, humorous
novels to books with dark or serious themes.
