Title	Mormon Contributions to Young Adult Literature
BYU Creator	Pilcher, Toni
Keywords	literature; young adult literature; Latter-Day Saints; authors; Mormon
Description/Abstract	Mormon authors are making big splashes in the world of young adult (YA) literature, a relatively young genre that is targeted at readers from age 12 to age 18. Since 1967, when the American Library Association officially recognized YA literature as separate from children's books, writers and publishers have been trying to define the genre. It is, in a sense, coming of age. Generally, to be considered YA, a book has to have a teenage protagonist in situations with which a teenage reader can identify. Like literature for adults, there are a few limitations to subject and theme, but unlike literature for adults, most YA novels either have a happy ending or end with a hint of hope.
