"Useful, full of information, up-to-date, engaging layout with ample margins for taking notes. Sometimes I liked the conversational tone, but I have to admit there were times that I longed for a more scholarly, neutral voice."
"Overall, an excellent resource for teachers or librarians who work with teenagers. I liked the fact that it made a distinction between "tweens" and teens because those groups are often lumped together. I didn't care for the authors' constant use of the first person, and the authors occasionally let their personal bias show. However, the positives much outweigh the negatives here."
"Solid intro to YA lit. Bought it and making myself read it cover to cover (it's interesting reading, but it's still a textbook so requires discipline to keep going!)."
