Young Adult Realism: Conventions, Narrators, and Readers.
Ross, Catherine Sheldrick
Library Quarterly, v55 n2 p174-91 Apr 1985
Examination of a subset of books popular with young adults--problem novels or young adult realism--is based on deductions concerning nature of reading response that text invites. Young adult realism as formula of popular culture, changes in conventions, narrators and narratees, and identification and distance are discussed. (34 references) (EJS)
