Young Adult Literature and the New Literary Theories: Developing Critical Readers in Middle School Book

Each book only gets a small page or two; some authors get one entry and some get two - HG Wells gets three.
I quite liked the 'read on a theme' segments that followed entries, sometimes on similar books by the author, or similar plotlines, or similarities to the author (minorities).
As the book mentions, there are few women listed, though not pitifully few it seemed. It's dominated by caucasian males, but then it also seems to bias somewhat toward older, 'classic' works (understandably, given it's surveying the whole field). It did remind me of books I'd intended to read, as well as inspired me to pick up others. There were a number of cases that the book selected may be somewhat surprising for the author (compared to more well known works by them) but often there would be justification for that.
Includes a glossary of terms, and a listing of several of the major SF award novel winners until the book's printing (~2007), though obviously those could just be looked up online.
