Good for the history of YA. Less good for the current trends in YA.

required for materials for ya. found some of the history parts interesting, but feel it's really outdated. in the last 12 years, a ya renaissance has occurred and a third of this book is a death knell for the field.

It was a great book for my YAL class, I wish I had actually bought it instead of rented it.

Young Adult Literature: From Romance to Realism
This is a textbook of sorts, one that I might use in my Young Adult Literature elective. The book chronicles the history of young adult literature, how its popularity has soared, types of books and how the audience can sometimes span into adulthood. I borrowed this book from the public library.

This is a good introduction to young adult literature. It goes through the various genres in humorous, well written text that gives excellent suggestions for those who want to better learned in YA lit. I found it a good read, especially for those who need a clearer look at specific genres.

Read this for one of my grad. school classes. It was a good primer of YA literature, first discussing the history of YA literature and then moving on to topics and trends in modern YA literature.

I finished the third edition of this book. Was a pretty good summary of what’s been going on in the ya world. Clear writing.
