Young Adult Literature
Young adult literature, also known as adolescent literature, is written for and about teens. Some of the common characteristics found in adolescent literature are the teenage main character and a plot that relates to teenagers' problems or events in their lives. The story is presented from an adolescent's point of view so that the reader can understand the way in which teenagers relate to the people and events in their lives.
Young Adult Literature can be used to:
- get students reading
- explore gender issues
- help students understand cultural differences
