Young Adult Science Fiction

$115

At the close of the nineteenth century, American youths developed a growing interest in electricity and its applications, machines, and gadgetry. When authors and publishers recognized the extent of this interest in technology, they sought to create reading materials that would meet this market need. The result was science fiction written especially for young adults. While critics tended to neglect young adult science fiction for decades, they gradually came to recognize its practical and cultural value. Science fiction inspired many young adults to study science and engineering and helped foster technological innovation. At the same time, these works also explored cultural and social concerns more commonly associated with serious literature. Nor was young adult science fiction a peculiarly American phenomenon: authors in other countries likewise wrote science fiction for young adult readers. This book examines young adult science fiction in the U.S. and several other countries and explores issues central to the genre. The first part of the book treats the larger contexts of young adult science fiction and includes chapters on its history and development. Included are discussions of science fiction for young adults in the U.S. and in Canada, Great Britain, Germany, and Australia. These chapters are written by expert contributors and chart the history of young adult science fiction from the nineteenth century to the present. The second section of the book considers topics of special interest to young adult science fiction. Some of the chapters look at particular forms and expressions of science fiction, such as films and comic books. Others treat particular topics, such as the portrayal of women in Robert Heinlein’s works and representations of war in young adult science fiction. Yet another chapter studies the young adult science fiction novel as a coming-of-age story and thus helps distinguish the genre from science fiction written for adult readers. All chapters reflect current research, and the volume concludes with extensive bibliographies.

500 Great Books for Teens

$19.99

If you are looking for a book to give to a teenage reader here’s the reference you’ve been waiting for. Until now there’s been no accepted guide to what’s good bad or indifferent in the flood of books coming off the presses in the hot new category of young-adult publishing. If it’s true that you can’t judge a book by its cover it is especially true for teen books as publishers take aim at a new class of readers. The books land on shelves without a history and so there is no standard by which to judge them. Anita Silvey one of the country’s leading authorities on books for young people has interviewed teenage readers all over the country and immersed herself in young-adult books with an emphasis on books published in the last five years. The result is this invaluable and very readable guide for parents teachers librarians booksellers reading groups and of course teens themselves. With its extended essays describing 500 selections parents will quickly see what their teenagers are actually reading — and will be able to find good books to introduce them to. Teachers can spot excellent additions to summer reading lists. Booksellers can move customers from one favorite to a host of others in the same genre. Librarians can round out collections. Book groups — for adults teens or both — will have hundreds of new titles to consider. 500 Great Books for Teens is divided into twenty-one sections including adventure and survival politics and social history horror romance war and conflict fantasy plays graphic novels poetry memoir and spirituality. Every section offers up classics but the majority of titles are new. In "Beyond the 500 " Silvey compiles a number of useful lists including books organized by geographic location and historical period as well as recommended audio books.
