Read from June 01 to July 12, 2011 — I own a copy

This is a very thorough exciting textbook that my online class will enjoy, I am sure! This book goes into great detail about young adult genres, authors, librarians, the teen reader, and the many themes and issues in YA lit today. In many chapters there are technology links, literary theory, and author spotlights. Ernest Bond has a helpful book for pre-service teachers, in-service teachers, media specialists and students providing a current experience for readers as it offers a look at the newest and best offerings of literature available for teens, ages 10-18. Highly recommmended.

bjneary So far I am really enjoying it---I just finished Michael Cart's book Young Adult Literature From Romance to Realismand it was much slimmer but great reading and information--so it will take me awhile since I read my fiction books and then just a few pages of the professional books.

Wendy do you mind if I ask what textbook do you use? I would like to purchase it to get started. Also, is there a link to your progam's/school's website so I can bookmark it for next Fall? Thanks again -
