Abstract

This is a comparative study of the themes related to adolescence found in twelve young adult books. Six award-winning authors were selected who have written books around 1980 and again around 2000. The study looks at the way themes such as friendship, divorce, and race are depicted in young adult books and analyzes whether those depictions have changed over the twenty-year period. The trends found in newer books are towards characters being more developed, the truth about society being told more, and the idea that some things stay the same. These trends acknowledge the sophistication of today’s young adults and that they can handle the truth.
