Abstract
If there is one major trend across the various chapters in this book it is the illustration that the young adult book genre is in a period of flux. As a genre that more or less emerged in the middle of the 1900s, YA is a relatively young component of western literatures. Like the readers it caters to, it is stretching uncomfortably in its current adolescence.
