Description
The fast-growing field of Young Adult (YA) literature offers stories that help us make sense of our own lives, as we observe the characters on their own journeys. No matter our age, these books provide us with new perspectives. This Great American Read discussion reflects on, “How do our favorite books about self-discovery help us navigate our life’s journey?” Melinda J. McBee Orzulak is an associate professor of English at Bradley University, where she teaches Young Adult Literature and enjoys working with teachers learning methods for teaching reading with YA literature.
