Reading as a Teen

MEDA 5637-901

Literature is... "Art which allows the reader to live vicariously; be all people at all times" (Young Adult Literature).

My experience with Y. A. literature

"A well-balanced collection... can be both a mirror to reflect reader's experience and a window so readers can experience different experiences and points of view." - Brock, 13

"Y.A. offers readers relatable protagonists navigating the rollercoaster of adolescence. Y.A. books capture the intensity of emotions we experience at this stage in life: first loves, friendships, self-discovery, and the triumphs and challenges of growing up" (What is Young Adult Literature?).
