The Young Adult Fiction Horizon

Some of the most voracious readers on the planet are young adults, and they’re not just reading Harry Potter and Twilight. Dystopian literature, vampires and dark social issues dominate the teen scene, but haven’t edged out realistic contemporaries which continue to hold their ground in the market. Join panelists Jeri Smith-Ready, Mindy Klasky, Laurel Wanrow, Cheryl Klam and Lea Nolan for a discussion of genre favorites and upcoming trends.
