Critical Approaches to Young Adult Literature

by Kathy Howard Latrobe, Judy Drury

Overview

Critical Approaches to Young Adult Literature is for librarians in school and public libraries (plus their colleagues across the curriculum) who strive for collections and programming that elicit thoughtful responses and build higher-level literacy skills across grades 6-12. The authors explore all facets of creating a vibrant YA reading community, such as inquiry-based learning, promoting and motivating reading, collection management, understanding multiple intelligences, accepting diverse beliefs, and acting as a change agent, to name a few. Latrobe and Drury also provide basic questions designed to involve young people, activities to encourage critical responses, and bibliographies of YA books with annotations.
