before their friendship bloomed⌠the Thing was gentle and kind
and the adventures they went on were the best she could ever
imagine. Â The girl soon discovered that there were many
Things, living all over the place⌠which gave her an idea. She

This comprehensive reader combines post-graduate level theory with
contemporary case studies to illustrate and analyse the
complications of children and young people's lived experiences in
the UK and worldwide in the early 21st century. Authors in several
fields of childhood and youth studies apply their expertise to
areas such as young people and the law, children's rights, child
protection, sexuality, participation, politics and family life.
Using the voices of the children and young people themselves, key
topics illustrate important contemporary issues in the study of
childhood and youth and show how these impact on policy initiatives
and practical interventions in children's lives.
