Reviews

Most of the chapters of this book were written by children and young-adult librarians who daily interact with teens. They impart their love of reading and their own viewpoints on attracting young adults to books by having them participate in literature.
*Ceased Publication*

...well-researched, thought-provoking and readable.
*VOYA*

Issues of gender and feminism are the focus of many of these fine essays about YA literature by librarians and teachers...There is a lot here to stimulate discussion in library and education classes concerned with teenagers and their stories.
