3 High school reading lists have long included adult dystopian titles: Brave New World (Huxley, 1931) 1984 (Orwell, 1949) Farenheit 451 (Bradbury, (1953 ) Wrinkle in Time (L Engle, 1962) one of the earliest examples including YA protagonists White Mountains (Christopher, 1967) Z for Zachariah (O Brien, 1975) The Giver (Lowry, 1993) Other early YA authors in the field: H.M.

5 Theme Cautionary warning of future consequences Abuse of technology in people s lives (Starters, 2012) Current trends or political issues, such as excesses of capitalism (Feed, 2002) Engineering a social order (Delirium, 2011) Environmental disasters (Ashes, 2011) Life in a post- apocalyptic society (Defiance, 2012) Population control (Unwind, 2007) Setting Bleak, oppressive, futuristic environment Government that suppresses and controls its citizens Dark and depressing Gloomy a setting so vividly and clearly described that it becomes almost a character in itself (Spisak, 2012) Tone Fear Utter hopelessness Confusion. Curiosity. Panic. Fear. But laced through it all was the dark feeling of utter hopelessness. (Maze Runner, Dashner, 2009, 6) 4
6 Protagonists by Age Number of Protagonists Number of Prot "Teen" Age of Protagonist Awards by Protagonist Gender: Number of Awards Received MALE FEMALE Year Notable difference between young adult and adult dystopian literature The grown up ones are grimmer. (Miller, 2010) You may lead a child to darkness, but you can t turn out the light. (Hughes, 2003) 5
7 Young adult authors resist hopelessness, even if the fictional world demands it. (Reber, 2005) Despair should be used sparingly. A drop or two goes a long way. (Katherine Paterson, The Invisible Child, 59) I can t imagine writing a book that doesn t have a hopeful ending. (Lois Lowry in Hintz and Ostry, 2003, 199) Books have sold over 50 million copies Passed Harry Potter in sales as bestselling series on Amazon.com (3 titles vs. 7) Movie grossed over $691 million in the U.S. (Hypable) serve a bibliotherapeutic purpose allowing teens to face their fears of the future, whether outlandish or all too possible. (Eric Norton, SLJ - Focus On column) Find parallels to their own lives and situations Read them to feel prepared for these potential futures Empowering to see protagonists their own age lead a revolution / alter society s course Hopeful endings 6
8 Young people handle dystopia every day, in their lives, their dysfunctional families, their violence- ridden schools. (Lois Lowry interview with Hintz and Ostry, 2003, 199) because they believe, despite the callow protestations of certain adults, that books - especially the dark and dangerous ones - will save them. (Sherman Alexie in McPherson, 2011) The success of Uglies is partly thanks to high school being a dystopia. (Scott Westerfeld, author of Uglies) Another reason they appeal to teens is because many of them are part of a series. Reading a book as part of a series is cited frequently as a reason young adults choose the books they read. (Hooper, 2005) 7
