Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Discusses how young adult fiction offers new ways of thinking about
climate change and definitions of citizenship. The Necessity of
Young Adult Fiction argues that YA fiction helps us to think about
some of most pressing problems of the twenty-first century by
offering imaginative reconceptualizations about identity, nation,
family, and the human relationship to the planet. Using examples
from YA fiction that range from the Harry Potter series to Nnedi
Okorafor's trilogy set in contemporary Nigeria, this book argues
that the cultural work of YA fiction shapes readers perceptions,
making them receptive to-and invested in-the possibility of
positive social change. The novels examined could all be considered
"fantastical," but they offer insights into the real world that all
readers-and particularly young adult readers-might draw on in order
to reimagine social structures and the well-being of the planet.
The book is designed to bring readers into the conversation about
how we might create cosmopolitan societies that are shaped around
conversation and engagement rather than fear and isolation. Each of
these novels, in different ways, illustrate the dangers inherent in
fundamentalist visions of the world. Through its discussions about
the relationships between reading and citizenship, monsters and
families, the local and the global, The Necessity of Young Adult
Fiction demonstrates that YA fiction is doing some of the most
important and creative work in literature today.
Choices matter. The choices women make during the critical years of
adolescence and early adulthood often have life-long consequences.
Image, immorality, and recklessness reign in Western culture, and
scarcely can a woman escape the drift of stupidity unless she is
prepared to fight. Her weapon? Wisdom. Not a list of do's and
don'ts... but clear, guiding principles from God's Word that can be
applied in the most desperate situations to preserve a young
woman's destiny. Through tragic and inspiring real-life stories,
Sarah Siegand paints a vivid picture of the consequences choices
bring, while boldly offering truth and perspective to bring readers
to a place of decision. With vulnerability and humor, Siegand
beckons young women, and those who lead them, to discover purpose
and redemption through Christ. Written in a format perfect for
small groups and mentoring relationships, Smart Girl, Stupid World
is a daring call to wisdom for an emerging generation. A Book
Trailer Video is available on the Smart Girl Stupid World website
& Youtube.
