Young people, particularly teenagers, love escapist fare. They watch television, go to the movies, or even read books to get away to a world that is often, for many, foreign, or at least, unapproachable. They watch and read about others—-maybe of their own age, maybe not—fall in and out of love, have wild adventures, travel the globe, or just hang out with their friends. Each journey is marked by a rite of passage, a time-tested travail in which the hero or protagonist must straggle with some conflict—either external or internal—to become a fully realized human being. By challenging the system or overcoming a long-held fear, the hero of a tale embodies the best of what the watcher or reader hopes for in his own life and, thus, symbolizes the hopes and admiration of many.
To entice young people to become avid readers, teachers and librarians often suggest works that, for some, are difficult to read. Well-intentioned as these informed advocates for young adult readers are, they often neglect a host of stories and novels that are aimed specifically at young adult readers. Too often, young people, particularly high school students, are handed material that is far beyond their knowledge or age range. Yes, Shakespeare, Dickens, and Hawthorne are representative of a class of time-honored, traditionally revered, classical authors, but they are, to be sure, not the only authors that young people should he encouraged to read. Indeed, there are many authors who young people often do not read, and should.
The burgeoning field of young adult literature provides a rich panoply of good books from which young people can select to read and enjoy. Hours of escapist fare cloaked in realistic language and stories await eager young readers who find traditional literature too stuffy for their tastes. For younger readers(ages 9-12)there are works by Judy Blume(Blubber: Are You There Godl It’s Me. Margaret), Paula Danziger(The Cat Ate My Gymsuit, There’s a Bat in Bunk Five), and E. L. Koningsburg(From the Mixed up Fifes of Mrs. Basil E. Frankwiler). For older readers(ages 13 -17), there is S. E. Hinton(The Chocolate War, After the First Death). These are but a few of the many books specifically written for young people that appeal to their needs and sensibilities and still provide the escape from their everyday lives that all human beings need when they long for entertainment.
Thus, the task of lovers of good books—librarians, teachers, and parents, to name a few—is simple. They are duty bound to introduce young people to books that not only provide them a chance to explore new universes but edify them and engage their interest as well. Adults who make it their business to work with young people, to motivate them to become more than they ever could possibly imagine, should make it their business to familiarize themselves with the world of young adult fiction so that they can, in turn, recommend good books that speak to the interests and needs of the young people with whom they work. Otherwise, too often, these young people will never know the pure joy that reading can bring.
