Adolescents in the Search for Meaning - Tapping the Powerful Resource of Story

Klappentext The teenage years are the most formative years, and in this day and age where reports of school shootings, gang violence, dysfunctional family life, and adolescent suicide are seen all too often, resources designed to help young adults survive life challenges are sorely needed. Building from the idea that story is a powerful source of meaning, particularly those stories that resonate with our own lives, this book suggests that the stories of other young adults offer a resource yet to be fully tapped. Adolescents in the Search for Meaning begins from the perspective of young adults by sharing the results of a survey of over 1400 teens and also includes the insights of authors of Young Adult Literature. The book presents over 120 novels that teens have identified as meaningful as well as books recommended by YA authors and experts in the field of YA literature. For any teacher, librarian, parent or counselor wanting to reach young adults, this book is ideal.
