What makes a book a YA book?
Write ONE brief characteristic in the chat that you think a book needs to have in order to be considered YA.
A (Brief) History of YA Lit Examine the book cover “clues” I’ve provided. By researching these two
works, begin to construct a brief summary of what YA lit was like during your decade.
Be prepared to share the significance of both works and authors with the class. Also share any other important information you discover about what was happing in YA lit during your decade. How do these books fit in? Why
did I choose them to represent the decade? You have up to 10 minutes to share your findings with the class.
Choose 2 words to describe YA lit during your decade. Share your words with the class & explain the choice.
Add additional book covers, phrases, artwork and your two descriptive words to your group’s whiteboard to illustrate your decade.

A student approaches you who has just finished reading Seventeenth Summer. She tells you she liked the book because it wasn’t too “mature.” Her family is very conservative and many of the
other teen books in the library make her uncomfortable. She asks if you have anything
else like Seventeenth Summer.
What can you recommend?
