Yes, Twilight is there, but else is out there? <br /><br />I think you'll be happy to know that there are lots of amazing ass-kicking heroines out there in YA lit...You'll read about one of them in the E. Lockhart book, Frankie Landau Banks, and probably a few more titles this semester. <br /><br />Representation is huge in the world of YA lit, and not just when it comes to ass-kicking female characters. In fact, what surprises me every time I go to a new YA publishing presentation is the overwhelming number of books about kick-ass, thoughtful, etc female main characters versus male characters or characters of color.<br /><br />Maybe tonight we should drum up some lists of titles about this topic? It would be a great start to begin thinking about your Topical Resource List.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17929550139400899552noreply@blogger.com
