    This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen CHAPTER ONE the Name of The

    This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen CHAPTER ONE The name of the song is “This Lullaby.” At this point, I’ve probably heard it, oh, about a million times. Approximately. All my life I’ve been told about how my father wrote it the day I was born. He was on the road somewhere in Texas, already split from my mom. The story goes that he got word of my birth, sat down with his guitar, and just came up with it, right there in a room at a Motel 6. An hour of his time, just a few chords, two verses and a chorus. He’d been writing music all his life, but in the end it would be the only song he was known for. Even in death, my father was a one-hit wonder. Or two, I guess, if you count me. Now, the song was playing overhead as I sat in a plastic chair at the car dealership, in the first week of June. It was warm, everything was blooming, and summer was practically here. Which meant, of course, that it was time for my mother to get married again. This was her fourth time, fifth if you include my father. I chose not to. But they were, in her eyes, married—if being united in the middle of the desert by someone they’d met at a rest stop only moments before counts as married. It does to my mother. But then, she takes on husbands the way other people change their hair color: out of boredom, listlessness, or just feeling that this next one will fix everything, once and for all.

    Science Fiction The Lives of Tao by Wesley Chu When out-of-shape IT technician Roen Tan woke up and started hearing voices in his head, he naturally assumed he was losing it. He wasn’t. He now has a passenger in his brain – an ancient alien life-form called Tao, whose race crash-landed on Earth before the first fish crawled out of the oceans. Now split into two opposing factions – the peace-loving, but under-represented Prophus, and the savage, powerful Genjix – the aliens have been in a state of civil war for centuries. Both sides are searching for a way off-planet, and the Genjix will sacrifice the entire human race, if that’s what it takes. Meanwhile, Roen is having to train to be the ultimate secret agent. Like that’s going to end up well… 2014 YALSA Alex Award winner The Testing (The Testing Trilogy Series #1) by Joelle Charbonneau It’s graduation day for sixteen-year-old Malencia Vale, and the entire Five Lakes Colony (the former Great Lakes) is celebrating. All Cia can think about—hope for— is whether she’ll be chosen for The Testing, a United Commonwealth program that selects the best and brightest new graduates to become possible leaders of the slowly revitalizing post-war civiliZation. When Cia is chosen, her father finally tells her about his own nightmarish half-memories of The Testing. Armed with his dire warnings (”Cia, trust no one”), she bravely heads off to Tosu City, far away from friends and family, perhaps forever. Danger, romance—and sheer terror—await.

Professor Ned Stuckey-French Thesis Director Dr. Melissa Gross Outside Committee Member Dr. Leigh Edwards Committee Member 2 INTRODUCTION Young adult literature is a genre or category of books that are written for teenagers and feature a teenage protagonist. This genre has created confusion, however, with its meaning, intended audience and what should qualify. As Michael Cart notes, the term is “…inherently amorphous, for its constituent terms ‘young adult’ and ‘literature’ are dynamic, changing as culture and society – which provide their context – change” (“The Value of Young Adult Literature”). This makes the term have different meanings to each generation, and it forces the question of what can, or should, qualify for teenagers and young adults to read. These debates started with the first novel published as young adult, S.E. Hinton’s 1966 debut, The Outsiders, which wasn’t what adults wanted their teenagers to be reading, though it depicted the reality they were living. Young adult literature didn’t exist until the late 1960s, with this publication, and though there were a few novels before then that were very early “adolescent” novels, they were always published as adult books.
