ABSTRACT Examples of popular Anglo-American teen literature are translated into many languages, reaching millions of children from different cultures. From a translators’ perspective, this is a complex endeavor, since translations of popular Anglo-American literature for teens necessitates unique approaches and knowledge about readership, markets, intertexual, and intercultural mediation across languages, which translators have to take into account in the translation process. This article provides an example of this endeavor, with emphasis on the use of paratexts, the existence of intermedial rewriting, intertexuality, style, and culture, through a multidimensional study of the translations of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson series into Turkish.

ABSTRACT The study of teenagers’ reading practices is a dynamic and rapidly changing field, and one in which digital innovation continues to reformulate old concepts and generate new practices. This scoping review aims to capture the extent and range of international research on the topic. It explores what is known about teenagers’ reading practices; identifies the relevant disciplines, and how they define reading. It also documents the frameworks, themes, and study designs guiding research in the field. We argue that a scoping review is especially helpful for identifying gaps in the existing evidence base and informing future directions for research, particularly in the Australian context.

ABSTRACT This article presents the findings of a mixed methods investigation of the effectiveness of provision for EAL pupils by secondary school libraries in England. Data from a quantitative survey of secondary school librarians are triangulated with those of qualitative interviews with staff responsible for EAL provision. A picture emerges of a hybrid environment that addresses a number of the educational, cultural, and social needs of EAL learners, but in which a series of barriers to effective provision are also identified. Recommendations are made to key stakeholder groups for the short and long term improvement of EAL provision, and for further research.

ABSTRACT The use of labels for the Indigenous and non-Indigenous, the colonized and the colonizer, who in contemporary New Zealand society are known as Māori and Pākehā, is examined through the lens of postcolonial theory (Bradford 2007) in a set of 54 books. These books were selected from the Dorothy Neal White Collection, a collection of over 7000 English language children’s books published before 1940 and housed in the National Library of New Zealand. Findings show that the labels Māori and Pākehā (albeit with inconsistent capitalization and italicization) are used in the majority of the books. The use of Māori, Pākehā, New Zealander, white, and native are discussed.

ABSTRACT This article presents findings from a case study evaluation of a library in Southern California, which received LSTA Funding to incorporate iPads and new media into its youth services programming. While an abundance of new media is available for young children, much remains to be known about children, screens, and new media formats. Youth services librarians, too, are in a challenging position, as there are virtually no guidelines or best practices to follow in terms of implementing such new formats into programming. As a result, on-going professional development is needed.

ABSTRACT The Doctor Who Library forms one of the longest running and most extensive fiction book series for children and young people, and its role in promoting literacy within these groups in the 1970s and 1980s was very considerable. This article investigates the authorship of the Library’s 159 volumes, which, almost without exception, are novelizations of the serials making up the original version of Doctor Who that ran on British television between 1963 and 1989. The article explores how far authorship patterns are consistent with Lotka’s Law and the kinds of tendencies that are highlighted by Bradford’s Law. Although the relationship between the number of Doctor Who books and the number of the authors responsible for them does not accurately reflect the statistical proportions stated by Lotka’s Law, the general patterns inherent in the Law do indeed prevail.

ABSTRACT The mythic fiction and urban fantasy genres take and adjust old legends to create significant meaning for their teen readers. Although topically quite different, thematic similarity at the core of these tales highlights a captivation with these central ideas. A comparison of twelve contemporary young adult novels with historical folk and fairy lore from Ireland and Scotland illustrates that these genres, through the modification of traditional folklore into contemporary literature, appeal to a current YA audience through several key factors.

ABSTRACT Novels about East Timor in English and Portuguese for children have been scarce. Despite a contemporary background of revisionist approaches to history, the nationalist focus of such material means that certain stories are handled rarely, even those that interpellate the nation in some way. This article examines ways in which support for East Timor is underwritten in the few novels for children and young adults that deal with East Timor in English and Portuguese, concluding with a brief assessment of the extent to which they realize Herbert Kohl’s suggestions of appropriate strategies for what he terms “Radical Children’s Literature.”

ABSTRACT This article examines two young adult novels, Kevin Brooks’ iBoy and Brian Caswell’s A Cage of Butterflies, and posits that although these novels fall outside accepted posthuman themes, the characters’ actions and attributes are nonetheless posthuman. Furthermore, it argues that these novels use the speculative fiction form to address posthuman concerns within a contemporary realism framework. The article draws upon the literary criticism of N. Katherine Hayles, Roberta Trites, and others to explore how these novels offer young adult readers positive models as they search for ways to cope with life in an evolving posthuman world.
