Atticus, David, and Raymond: Role Models for YA Males.

Crowe, Chris

English Journal, v88 n6 p119-22 Jul 1999

Expresses a wish that more young adult novels would include strong fathers in their storylines, arguing that this might help boys be more thoughtful about their fathers and about the role and important attributes of fatherhood. Offers examples of such figures in several young adult books. Also offers brief descriptions of 11 new or overlooked young adult books worth reading. (SR)
