Alternating Narratives in Fiction for Young Readers

Viac o knihe

Exploring the impact of novels with multiple narrative lines, the book examines how young readers engage with stories featuring various protagonists. It questions the traditional reliance on a single main character and investigates whether these alternating narratives signify a departure from literary conventions or function within them. Through close readings of diverse children's and young adult literature from the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Australia, it delves into the structural, educational, and ideological implications of this storytelling approach.
