| Summary: | This resource represents the accumulated wisdom of a veteran librarian, author, speaker, critic, and pioneer of young adult services. Selected from several sources over many years, these essays and articles present a broad collection of critical writing. The articles are grouped into categories that include "How We Got Here," "Trends and Tendencies," "Defining YA," and "Censorship Near and Far." From a professional perspective that spans 40 years, Campbell weighs in on the history of YA, groundbreaking changes in the genre, and the shifting edges and boundaries of YA literature over time. Articles in the "Inside ALA" section give the reader an insider's view of the national organization and the realities of committee work. Included are analyses of such groundbreaking works as Maus (Pantheon), Monster (Amistad, 1999), The Giver (Delacorte Books for Young Readers, 1993), The Chocolate War (Laurel Leaf, 1974), and The Outsiders (Viking Press,1967). --publisher's description. |
