| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Adolescence is a bittersweet time, where the boundaries between childhood and adult issues blur. Young-adult fiction writers try to capture the feeling of angst and broach grown-up issues, sometimes to the anger of parents and teachers. This book looks at some award-winning books that pushed the envelope in the genre, and others that are standards on young-adult fiction shelves. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
