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.

ABSTRACT Research has shown that collaboration between teachers and librarians has a positive effect on student learning, but can be difficult to achieve. In order to explore the incorporation of teacher and librarian collaboration into preservice education, two master’s level classes studying young adult literature, one in teacher education and one in library and information studies (LIS), were given an assignment that required them to work together to complete a week’s worth of lesson plans for a high school English class based on a commonly read novel. Student responses demonstrate limiting and enabling factors that affect integrating collaboration into professional preparation.

ABSTRACT This article investigates censorship challenges to Canadian picturebooks as documented in interviews with 136 Canadian authors, illustrators, editors, and publishers conducted for the Canadian Children’s Illustrated Books in English Project. Overt challenges to access to books and other material for children in Canadian classrooms and public and school libraries have been reported in surveys and the media; the personal challenges experienced by creators and publishers, including pre-publication pressures, have been ignored. Qualitative content analysis of the interviews yields data on themes, patterns, and categories of the challenges. In identifying the challenges, conflicting ideologies in Canadian society are brought to light.

ABSTRACT Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, and Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio are among the most famous, most translated books in the world: they are national and international classics. Despite the fact that Pinocchio is widely regarded as stereotypically Italian and Alice as stereotypically British, they have transcended their national origins. The books share generic elements and tropes of international fantasy traditions modulated by their creative moments the Italian Risorgimento and the British high-Victorian period. In their globalization (or glocalization) through translations, adaptations, and Disneyfication, the national characteristics of these books have either been lost, or have been developed into caricatures and stereotypes (Pinocchio, like the Italians, is wild, emotional, and unreliable; Alice, like the English is calm, unemotional and self-assured). This article discusses the ways in which the national stereotypes and national characteristics (inherent or perceived) in these books are absorbed into, or conflict with, international concepts of fantasy.

ABSTRACT As the third foot in a literary triad that has defined secondary world fantasy for 70 years, Rowling owes a debt to both Tolkien and Lewis in terms of the discourse of story and the construction of her secondary world. Critics variously position Rowling’s series as heteronormative fantasy and consumer product. In reviewing the critical approach to Harry as heteronormative hero, and reconsidering Rowling’s position as part of this literary triad, this article seeks to examine the series in its representation of the hero in the context of story, and argues for a double gendered reading of the boy hero.
