Please stop by Forever Young Adult's Heck YA, Diversity! series. Why?
1.) Authors like Jenny Han, bloggers, and publishers weigh in on diversity in Young Adult fiction--tropes, stats, and inspirational stuff. It's all good!
2.) I have a Guest Post up about YA books set outside the U.S. Come say hi!
Have a great holiday weekend, everybody!

Just read your guest post and loved it! Added some more books to my list - I love LOVE cultural exposure and my favorite way to get it (other than travel) is via fiction (quite a bit cheaper). Ink did such a good job with Katie's adjustment to Japan and Japanese teenagers. I loved Revolution, too. I think Wanderlove will be my next pick.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Stephanie. I'm playing catch-up on all the blog posts I saved to read later.
ReplyDeleteI just read your post on Forever Young Adult. I see what you're saying and agree. Not all of us can a afford to travel the globe; books allow us to do so. Through stories, we can be exposed to cultures we might never experience in our lifetimes. Great post.
