Critical Foundations in Young Adult Literature: Challenging Genres (Critical Literacy Teaching: Challenging Authors and Genre)
Young Adult literature, from The Outsiders to Harry Potter, has helped shape the cultural landscape for adolescents perhaps more than any other form of consumable media in the twentieth and twenty-first century.

Taking a critical approach, Young Adult Literature: Challenging Genres offers educators, youth librarians, and students a set of strate... [Read More] Best Selling Young Adult Authors
