This book is about the implications of novels for young readers that tell their stories by alternating between different narrative lines focused on different characters. It asks: if you make sense of fiction by identifying with one main character, how do you handle two or more of them? Do novels with alternating narratives diverge from longstanding conventions and represent a significant change in literature for young readers? If not, how do these novels manage to operate within the parameters of those conventions? This book considers answers to these questions by means of a series of close readings that explore the structural, educational and ideological implications of a variety of American, British, Canadian and Australian novels for children and for young adults.

"One of the most significant transformations in literature for children and young adults during the last twenty years has been the resurgence of comics. Educators and librarians extol the benefits of comics reading, and increasingly, children's and YA comics and comics hybrids have won major prizes, including the Printz Award and the National Book Award. Despite the popularity and influence of children's and YA graphic novels, the genre has not received adequate scholarly attention. Graphic Novels for Children and Young Adults is the first book to offer a critical examination of children's and YA comics. The anthology is divided into five sections, structure and narration; transmedia; pedagogy; gender and sexuality; and identity, that reflect crucial issues and recurring topics in comics scholarship during the twenty-first century. The contributors are likewise drawn from a diverse array of disciplines -- English, education, library science, and fine arts. Collectively, they analyze a variety of contemporary comics, including such highly popular series as Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Lumberjanes; Eisner award-winning graphic novels by Gene Luen Yang, Nate Powell, Mariko Tamaki, and Jillian Tamaki; as well as volumes frequently challenged for use in secondary classrooms, such as Raina Telgemeier's Drama and Sherman Alexie's The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian."--

In der DDR erfreuten sich Sachbücher für Kinder und Jugendliche großer Beliebtheit. Zwischen 1949 und 1989 sind mehr als 3.000 Titel erschienen. Sie sind kaum erforscht. Themen, Formen, Strukturen und die Besonderheit ihrer Illustrationen werden in diesem Sammelband erstmals genauer analysiert. In den Fokus rücken Themen wie Umwelterziehung und literarische Reisen sowie Gattungen wie Sachbilderbuch, deskriptives Bilderbuch, Sprachspielbuch und Kinderlexikon. Wissen vermittelnde fiktionale Literatur wie das MOSAIK und Geschichtserzählungen von Gerda Rottschalk werden ebenso exemplarisch untersucht wie Erzählstoffe für den Unterricht. Die Besonderheit von Sachbuchillustrationen wird analysiert und das grafische Werk von Gerhard Preuß für Kinder erstmals vorgestellt.Children's and adolescents' books were hugely popular in the German Democratic Republic. Between 1949 and 1989, more than 3,000 books were published. They have scarcely been researched. The themes, forms, structures and the distinctiveness of their illustrations are analysed in this anthology in greater detail for the first time ever. It focuses on topics such as environmental education and literary journeys, as well as genres such as non-fiction illustrated books, descriptive picture books, word-play books and children's encyclopaedias. Factual knowledge-imparting fiction literature, such as the MOSAIK and Gerda Rottschalk's stories, is also examined as exemplary narrative lesson material, whilst the distinctiveness of non-fictional illustrated books is analysed. Furthermore, Gerhard Preuss's graphic work for children is introduced for the first time ever.
