In Crossover Fiction, Sandra L. Beckett explores the global trend of crossover literature and explains how it is transforming literary canons, concepts of readership, the status of authors, the publishing industry, and bookselling practices. This study will have significant relevance across disciplines, as scholars in literary studies, media and cultural studies, visual arts, education, psychology, and sociology examine the increasingly blurred borderlines between adults and young people in contemporary society, notably with regard to their consumption of popular culture.

"Highly recommended"--Choice"As her subtitle indicates, Beckett provides a broad perspective of the genre and explores both adult-to-child and child-to-adult crossover fiction, fantasy read by all ages, the reasons for (and consequences of) the popularity of crossover fiction, the effect of Pottermania on the genre, and the publishing and marketing of crossover fiction."--C. McCutcheon, University of South Carolina Upstate"The most significant strength of Beckett’s book is her scope. Beckett devotes significant portions of her book to authors and titles from a global perspective, including authors (both well known and lesser known) from Italy, Germany, Spain, France, Canada, Japan, Brazil, Norway, Ireland, Scotland, India, South Africa, Australia, Poland, the Netherlands, and the Ukraine, to name just a few. As a resource for titles, authors, and publishers, the book seems invaluable." --The Lion and the Unicorn 33 (2009) "Beckett's book makes a compelling case for the end of separate categories of literature for children and adults and an "all-ages" approach to writing and publishing fiction."--Susan Stand, Central Michigan University
