The major themes are around the teenager’s lives, such as “beauty meaning†and “body imageâ€, “bullyingâ€, and so on. Although this subgenre shows a rapid development, research on this subgenre are still few. This article discusses the characteristics of young adult literature, particularly on the current condition toward the readers. Keywords: teenlit, young adult literature, social relevance, classroom researchDownloads
