Just got this email from EBSCO, Dallas ISD has a subscription, and many colleges and public libraries also subscribe to this database...
"Young Adult (YA) literature has made a name for
itself, creeping onto best-seller lists and breaking box office records
with film adaptations. “The Hunger Games.” “Divergent.” “The Giver.”
“The Fault in Our Stars.” Even if you don’t know what YA is, there is
probably a YA title rolling around in your mind. The genre is exploding,
snagging readers across age ranges and cultures. YA is breaking
boundaries.
But what is YA? Is it just a marketing term, or is it more? Recently I stumbled across a blog by catagator.
It’s a list of book lists, but when I started scrolling and clicking
through, the breakdown of genre and content available in YA blew me
away. Diving in by genre, subgenre, format, theme – YA has so much
going on! Short stories, urban fiction, dystopia, magical realism,
historical fiction, horror, verse novels – if you’ve got a craving for
something specific, it exists. And there are readers and librarians and
writers tweeting, blogging and listing their love of YA.
If you are interested in YA, take a look at our eBook collections like
the Youth Award Winners Collection, or our Genre collections, or the
eBook High School Subscription Collection. YA is everywhere and worth
more than a few reads."
I'll have to look and see if our subscription covers this!!
