Abstract: This paper focuses on novels addressed to that category of older teenagers called “young adults”, a particularly successful category that is traditionally regarded as a subpart of children’s literature and yet terminologically insists on overriding the adult/child divide by blurring the frontier between adulthood and childhood and focusing on the transition from one state to the other. In Britain, YA fiction has developed extensively in the last four decades and I wish to concentrate on what this literary emergence and evolution has entailed since the beginning of the 21st century, especially from the point of view of genre and narrative mode. I will examine the cases of recognized—although sometimes controversial—authors, arguing that although British YA fiction is deeply indebted to and anchored in the pioneering American tradition, which proclaimed the end of the Romantic child as well as that of the compulsory happy ending of the children’s book, there seems to be a recent trend which consists in alleviating the roughness, the straightforwardness of realism thanks to elements or touches of fantasy.

  • (Realistic Fiction) This Is the Story of Junior, a Buddi
    Summer Choices Program 2019 English 3 - 4 and Honors English 3 - 4 Incoming sophomores (both English 3 - 4 and Honors English 3 - 4 students) must select TWO of the following ​ ​ texts to read over the summer. Please select books which you have not previously read. Assessments will be administered in the fall for each of the two texts selected: The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian by Sherman Alexie (Realistic Fiction) ​ ​ This is the story of Junior, a budding cartoonist growing up on the Spokane Indian Reservation. Determined to break away from the life he thought he was destined to live, Junior leaves his troubled school on the rez to attend an all-white farm town high school where the only other Indian is the school mascot. Based on the ​ ​ author's own experiences, the book also includes drawings and sketches throughout. After the Shot Drops by Randy Ribay (Realistic Fiction; Sports Fiction) ​ ​ “Basketball provides the backdrop for a friendship pushed to its limits in this tale told from the alternating perspectives of two teen boys [Bunny and Nasir] growing up in a tough inner-city neighborhood reminiscent of Camden, New Jersey. By and large avoiding upfront race talk, Ribay makes his point by drawing characters of color full of complexity and contradiction. A genuine touch of Filipino flavor—Nasir’s mom grew up in the Philippines—demonstrates that one can step beyond reductive black/white–only portrayals of inner-city neighborhood life. A well-executed book featuring complex, diverse characters” (Kirkus). The Amazing Book Is Not on Fire: The World of Dan and Phil by Dan Howell and Phil Lester ​ (Non-Fiction) Since uploading their first ever videos as teenagers, Dan and Phil have become two of the world's biggest YouTube stars.
