The goal of this survey study was to discover the reasons for the use or nonuse of young adult literature in the classroom. This study revealed that YAL has gained in popularity with middle school teachers. New information, presented from qualitative data analysis on open-ended survey responses, adds to previous research on how teachers use YAL in secondary classrooms.
Readers eager to learn more about contemporary works of sports-related YAL will look forward to Lisa A. Hazlett’s review of Gut Check (Kester, 2019), Ann Marie Smith’s review of Heroine (McGinnis, 2019), and Anita Dubroc’s review of Here to Stay (Farizan, 2018).
