Clear and to the point

Essentials of YA Literature has fulfilled my expectations: to get a concise yet thorough panorama on the fiel of YA lit. Useful for teachers and students of Children's Lit, it affords up-to-date information as well as suitable ways of categorizing the different kinds of books offered to this varied range of audience.
