Young adult literature has youths as the protagonists, and
is based on contemporary issues. The books are written as how an adolescent
would view or interpret the same situation. In young adult books, there is
direct confrontation and the character goes through a significant change in
their life. Young adults’ characters
show gradual change and incomplete growth throughout the books and the
character receives consequences depending on frame. Books that are considered
young adults are based on how adolescences develop. As I continue to read and
evaluate young adult books, I will be observant of what YA literature is
comprised of. I know this is information students will ask me as they are
browsing the young adult section of the library. This is also information I can
add in my commentary when I evaluate the books.
