Joan Kaywell: Author/Editor

Adolescent Literature as a Complement to the Classics Volumes I-IV  Expose your students to literature in a way that is both meaningful and relevant by using young adult literature in conjunction with the classics. 

Adolescents at Risk-A Guide to Fiction and Nonfiction for Young Adults, Parents, and Professionals  This annotated bibliography focuses on books to use as bibliotherapy with at-risk teens. The author has gathered fiction and nonfiction titles, most written at middle- or junior-high school reading level. The book treats 14 different topics, including eating disorders, abuse, and AIDS. Each chapter has an introduction, statistical information, resources for help (including 800 numbers), fiction annotations, nonfiction annotations, and professional reading. Annotations vary in length and note awards won, author and title indexes." (Booklist)

Using Literature to Help Troubled Teens  "This handbook provides excellent therapeutic information with a specific analysis of at least one YA novel for each of the issues presented...These professionals provide information on adolescent development and how the psychological, physical, and emotional growth/problems relate to characters in teen novels. A valuable tool to use alone or in conjunction with others in the series." School Library Journal

 

"...a valuable bridge between guidance and literature....Kaywell's volume is thorough and thoughtfully arranged....The book comes at an ideal time to aid teachers, administrators, parents, librarians, and students."
