Young Adult Literature: Exploration, Evaluation, and Appreciation

by Katherine T. Bucher, M. Lee Manning

Young Adult Literature: Exploration, Evaluation, and Appreciation is an exciting new text developed to identify for teachers how to better connect adolescents with good literature. Comprehensive enough to ensure that teachers understand today's adolescents and the literature that will engage them, yet slim enough to ensure readers have the opportunity to read the books themselves, this text will help teachers provide a rich educational experience for adolescents throughout the middle and secondary curriculum while nourishing their love of reading.

A bit dated, but a solid primer for those unfamiliar with YA literature or interested in the history of its genres.

Book i left in my bomb shelter so I wouldn't get bored.

This was a textbook for my Library Materials for Teens class. It was extensive, it covered all of the genres and the current trends within. Each chapter provided a reading list of every book mentioned, a list of resources, and further reading on their web site. A must-have for anyone working with teen literature.

I found the information in this book very helpful for my class. It covers many genres in young adult literature and explains the how and whys of using each genre to interest young adults to read.

Can't write a real review until I've taught my first course with it beginning Monday, but I have high expectations for its use and reception.

[Crystal Hutchinson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a pretty good Young Adult textbook for librarians, especially if it is a YA Librarian. Clearly covers each Genre, settings for the youth environment and more.

[Sarah · Rating 5 out of 5]

I use this as the main textbook in my class--I love it, even though it is geared more toward English teachers in stead of librarians.
