John Marsden
A master storyteller, John Marsden is Australia's best known writer for young adults. Marsden first found success with the publication of So Much To Tell You. Since then he has gone on to publish many popular and well-recognized titles, including those in the Tomorrow Series and The Ellie Chronicles . In his books, Marsden explores adolescents caught in a world of opposites, of innocence and guilt, idealism and realism, and joy and despair.
Marsden's world view and his faith in adolescents serve as the backdrop for John Noell Moore's critical readings of Marsden's major novels. In John Marsden: Darkness, Shadow, and Light , Moore investigates the full spectrum of Marsden's work, beginning with the author's life as a teacher and writer. Throughout the book, Moore weaves together Marsden's recurring themes, chief among them writing and storytelling as ways of constructing identity in the transition from childhood to adulthood and the ability of young adults to endure hardships and overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. The book is a valuable addition to the current scholarship on young adult literature and will be welcomed by middle and high school English teachers and students alike.

Dickens and Demolition: Literary Afterlives and Mid-Nineteenth Century Urban Development by Joanna Hofer-Robinson (review)
In its first years, Dickens's periodical falls within the time frame of Hofer-Robinson's study – the span between Dickens's first publications in the 1830s and the formation of the Metropolitan Board of Works in 1855, a phase of London's urban development in which \"administrative practices were less formalized\" and opportunities existed \"for individuals to intervene\" in metropolitan improvement, she argues (22). The chapter underscores Dickens's ability to bring together \"government representatives, wealthy philanthropists and professional specialists,\" facilitating their collaboration; and it outlines his direct involvement with efforts to change London's built environment – most notably, through the advisory role he played in Angela Burdett Coutts's \"practical housing initiatives\" (140–41) – particularly the Columbia Square development in Bethnal Green, which aimed to improve housing stock for the poor in the East End. [...]Hofer-Robinson's claims about Dickens's conception of \"the utility of writing\" in his own philanthropic work, \"and what kinds of texts could have an impact on society and the built environment\" (131), are not as compelling as they might be, as her analysis of what she terms Dickens's \"paperwork\" and his \"circulation of papers and texts\" (150) does not extend beyond the textual materials and exchanges commonly considered in Dickens criticism. Reformers such as Mary Carpenter and Octavia Hill used Dickensian afterlives strategically to achieve their ends: while Carpenter \"curates an interpretation of Dickens that buttresses her own highly religious motivations\" in support of her work with \"juvenile offenders,\" Octavia Hill \"mines his fiction for lively rhetorical devices\" and \"repurposes tropes\" from Hard Times to argue for the importance of beauty to \"urban living\" yet declines to \"defer to the author\" (160).

On Letting The Outsiders In: Will Grayson, Will Grayson and the Lonely Work of Individuation in Young Adult Literature
In Will Grayson, Will Grayson, co-authors John Green and David Levithan at once stage and refuse an adherence to the long-standing youthful outsider trope in young adult fiction. By employing a multivocal narrative mode that doesn’t rest with an individual protagonist and offering a metafictional commentary on adolescent growth through Tiny Cooper’s autobiographical play, the authors dramatize a movement toward solidarity and invite the reader to question the commonly held assumption that individuation necessitates detachment.
