Abstract:
<strong>Introduction:</strong>Climate changes have been threatening the human life and their environment globally. As we continue to experience these phenomenal changes, it is crucial to educate current and future generations of youth about the importance of biodiversity in our everyday lives. One of the most important thing that we can teach children is how to care for and protect our 'blue planet'. In addition to experiencing the natural world by physically being outdoors, another way is to allow children of all ages to experience nature is through literature (books). Reading about nature is

Abstract:
In this article, we examine Anna-Marie McLemore’s When the Moon Was Ours (2016) through the theory of Queer Transgressive Cultural Capital. In doing so, we argue that queer and trans characters subvert existing Westernized systems of care, which are frequently reified in existing queer and trans young adult literature. We first explore how McLemore’s text uses magical realism to disrupt common trans narratives in Western contexts, in addition to exposing the norms that continue to haunt contemporary queer texts. Next, we draw from the history of trans medicine in Western contexts to examine ho

Abstract:
Since the release of Gabriel Garciá Márquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude, Magical Realism has been in favour as a narrative style or genre in adult fiction. The representation of the genre in children’s and juvenile literature, on the other hand, is a recent trend; the components of the genre have been tracked and proven to be genuinely important in the interpretation of current children’s fiction, such as David Almond’s Skelling (1998). The aim of this paper is to look at the elements of magical realism in Neil Gaiman’s Coraline and Angela Carter’s Nights at the Circus works in this respec

Abstract:
The purpose of the research is to comprehend the highly polymorphic notion of identity in the works of Anna Marie McLemore, a Mexican American writer. A detailed inspection of his works indicates that the concept of ‘identity disintegration’ is a concern in virtually all of them. This research aims to demonstrate identity development as a process rather than a distinct result of the struggle. Identity development, as an ever-changing process, provides us with new avenues for investigating subjectivity. Using a close reading of the selected texts, this research demonstrates that identity disint

Abstract:
This study examines the representation of queer identities in two popular young adult novels, “Summer of Salt” and Sometime in Summer, both authored by Katrina Leno. Utilising a queer theoretical framework, the analysis explores the use of coming-of-age narratives and elements of magical realism to create complex queer characters, mainly focusing on Felicity and Julep from Summer of Salt and Aiden from Sometime in Summer. The nuanced and complex experiences of these characters, as portrayed by Leno, are closely examined, with a particular focus on using magical realism as a genre to explore al

Abstract:
This systematic review examines existing research on David Almond’s young adult novels, aiming to identify scholarly gaps in the field and guide future research. This review demonstrates that critical attention predominantly focused on the following aspects: magical realism, narrative complexity, radical space and landscape, religious and theological dimensions, the construction of age, and educational issues. Emerging interdisciplinary approaches offer promising avenues for future exploration. These include digital humanities methods, and the integration of age studies, life course studies, a

Abstract This article draws on a multi-disciplinary project based on the David Almond archives at Seven Stories, the National Centre for Children’s Books in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. The project combined archival research, augmented reality (AR) technology, Almond’s magical realist writing and experimental workshops to explore whether AR can enhance young people’s engagement with archives and literature. In the process it highlighted the extent to which Almond’s fiction is itself a form of augmentation that represents a particular geographical location—the North East of England—in ways that cha

Abstract:
Trauma signifies the collapse of personal, social, and cultural meaning systems that causes a rupture to the bond that unifies the individual and the society. While narration of such devastation has been deemed impossible, and its presence in children's and young adult (YA) literature has been debated at great length, writers have attempted, nevertheless, to narrate the ‘unspeakable’ and ‘unrepresentable’ through memoirs and fiction for adults as well as children.

So far he has published seven novels for young adults, all of which have received highly critical acclaim and have been honored with a number of prestigious awards, including the Carnegie Medal (UK) and the Whitbread Children’s Book of the Year (UK). Referred to by Janni Howker as the Gabriel Garcia Marquez of children’s fiction, Almond characterizes his works by his style

Abstract:
Tony Vinci explains how Lev Grossman’s The Magicians suggests a new way of reading YA fantasy, not just as a privileged anthropocentric human reading escapist literature, reifying the boundary between reality and fantasy. Since the now-commodified set of expectations for fantasy to be unsettling are no longer as effective for readers, Grossman’s meta-fiction enables readers to view all realities as linguistic constructs. Thus when Quentin Coldwater and his magicians-in-training friends cross over into Narnia-like Fillory, they are encouraged to acknowledge the porous border between reality and

Using feminist theories, Maryna Matlock examines Leigh Bardugo’s Tsarpunk trilogy that lays bare the binaries between humanism and posthumanism, anthropocentrism and feminist multiplicity. Cartographer Alina becomes a Sun Summoner, a hybrid being yoked with magical antlers that amplify her extra-human powers but also put her under the control of the enigmatic, seductive Darkling. Matlock shows how Alina joins other female characters who resist humanist hegemony by means of self-aware gender performance.

Abstract:
This chapter looks at the contribution of speculative trans young adult (YA) fiction to expanding transgender representation in YA literature. It argues that while realism has traditionally dominated YA fiction due to its perceived capacity to guide adolescents through real-life issues, speculative fiction offers a valuable alternative. By analyzing the rise of speculative trans YA texts since 2015, the chapter demonstrates how these narratives create imaginative worlds that challenge normative structures like cisnormativity and heteronormativity, offering trans teens empowering reflections of

Abstract:
This chapter reviews the transition in children’s literature after the 1960s from colonialist to postcolonialist content as a framework for understanding contemporary Anglophone Caribbean children’s literature. Local voices integrated folklore into curricular material beginning in the 1930s, with far more expansive output after 1960. Writers offer historical and realistic fiction that countered colonialist paradigms. Waves of immigration to the US, Canada, and Great Britain (with its Caribbean Arts Movement) contributed to the rise of such literature, proliferating into children’s poetry, folk
