Utopian and Dystopian Writing for Children and Young Adults, Vol. 29
For the Fall 2015 Semester I had to write a thesis paper for my B.A. in English Literature. I had decided long ago to write it about YA literature especially in novels like Lord of the Flies. This book was a fantastic resource for me because the essays published in this book helped frame a direction for my paper. I had found this book in my College's library while looking for something completely different and now I'm so happy that I had found it because it was the greatest book to have for my thesis.
