Young Adult Literature: Exploration, Evaluation, and Appreciation

Connect with adolescent students-and help them connect with good literature- with this engaging, balanced look at the world of young adult literature. By combining a foundation of knowledge with the pathways leading to the literature itself, this book opens the door to exploring young adult literature. Brief enough to give readers the opportunity to read the books themselves, yet comprehensive enough to ensure that teachers truly understand adolescents, their literature, and how to connect the two, this book provides what's needed to ensure a rich educational experience for adolescents, while nourishing their love of reading. What will engage today's adolescents? What will help them connect with high quality and valued titles in every genre, including the literature of graphic novels and comic books, as well as the horror and humor titles that especially captivate today's young readers? These are the issues this text explores as it provides teachers with a number of practical suggestions and strategies, looks at diversity and multicultural literature, approaches the sensitivities of censorship, explores the Internet and film adaptations of young literature, demonstrates how to collaborate with other professionals, and much more.
