Summary:In Responding to Young Adult Literature, Virginia Monseau uncovers the power of young adult literature to evoke the kind of literary experiences that will keep students reading and lead them to a deeper understanding of literature in general and the relationship between literature and life in particular. The book serves two purposes: to describe and discuss the oral and written response of adolescents and adults to young adult literature; and to explore the significance of this knowledge to the study of literature in the classroom. Monseau wrote this book to show other English teachers what can happen when students are given the opportunity to read young adult literature and how a response approach to the literature can work in the classroom. As someone who has read, taught, and written about young adult literature extensively, she can help other teachers understand what happens when the reader meets the text.
