Beschreibung:
One of the most significant transformations in literature for children and young adults during the last twenty years has been the resurgence of comics. 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.
