These are fictional books written to target the adolescent between the ages of thirteen to twenty one. I maybe asked why am saying this young adult book reviews are fictional it is because most of the authors create imaginary events and people who live in a perfect world. Themes used to write this books are however the challenges faced by young people in the society today like alcoholism, romance, crime, rape, suicide etc.

It is difficult to say that what interest a child would interest an adult. That is why a young adult book is specifically written for the adolescent between the ages of thirteen to twenty one. The style used to write these books are often tangible and the characters appeal readily to the young readers.

Mostly the protagonist is a young adult instead of a child or a full grown adult.When it comes to the young adult books you will notice, that is if you like reading these books, that the author picks themes that affect the youth. Examples of themes used are like drug abuse, sexuality, self esteem, rivalry, love and romance etc.

At home Mary cries and her mother encourages her not to let go of her dream that no matter what her dreams are valid. The words cling into her head and decide that enough is enough, she will do what makes her happy and not others. Second time Mary is on stage she ignores the laughter and starts singing. Her voice captures the audience and everyone is amazed this is how she starts building herself confidence slowly. She gets to meet her first love, popularity and make over. The author then promises the readers a good read and page turning novel that will leave them wanting more.

These books are made more interesting by the tone used in writing them. It can be nostalgic, vengeful, remorseful or a happy tone this is decided by the author. While other writers might use one tone the other can use multiple tones.

Outside jail he decides help youths around not to turn out to be like him. The author speaks to this youth indirect that crime is not good no matter the situation. You will see that the genre the authors use appeal to these youths. Like the case of this boy who turns into a drug addict and gangster, the author writes about the very thing that happens to society today.

In the nineteen nineties is when the field for young adults literature matured coming on its own, serious and better written. The young adult book has sometime been referred to as the problem novel because of the things authors choose to write such as crime, drug abuse, alcoholism etc. Which are societal and personal problems.

Nowadays, schools have incorporated the young literature in the learning systems. The schools have also gone further to introduce drama or acting classes whereby the students bring life to the stage what they have learnt in class. This makes learning more interesting and boosts students comprehension. The most famous book that was acted out is Romeo and Juliet by shake spear and u will agree with me that it has been a great success to the author and loved by many all over the world.
