Joan Bauer is one of the most popular young adult novelists today. She is well-respected not only by her readers, but also by librarians and critics, having won a Newbery Honor for Hope Was Here (2001), among other awards. Drawing on personal experiences with divorce and family alcoholism, Bauer has her seemingly ordinary teenage characters face situations that test, and prove, their maturity and confidence. Following an introduction to Bauer's work, and a biographical chapter, this volume examines each novel by breaking it down into sections on plot, characterization, setting, and themes. Readers consulting this book for research, or for deeper analysis of a favorite novel, will find this a complete resource.

She is founding editor of the ALAN Review (Assembly on Literature for Adolescents of NCTE) and co-author of the leading textbook on young adult literature, Literature for Today's Young Adults, 7th ed.

"If you are a fan of Joan Bauer's teen books focusing on teen problems with a touch of humor and a dose of reality, then you will be interested in Nilsen's in-depth study of this author and her books. Designed for the librarian and teacher who wants to concentrate on YA authors in the classroom, at least some of the time, the book gives the teacher and librarian background enough along with normal Internet sources on this author to be able to do a great job including her works in classroom and library programs. You will find not only the normal biographical information and an interview with the author, but also essays describing and commenting on each of Bauer's principal works. Bauer has won a number of awards for her work, and so if you are a fan or you have teens who are, this is a good addition to your library." - Teacher Librarian
