The value of YA literature
From: Radical Reads 2 by Joni Richards Bodart (pp.xxi-xxiii)
"Today's YA literature is controversial because it reflects reality, in all of its ugliness and all of its beauty...It's controversial because it's incredibly well written...It's controversial because it makes adults uncomfortable...It's controversial because it changes lives and empowers teens--they read it and respond to it."
