Writing Youth: Young Adult Fiction as Literacy Sponsorship shows how many young adult novels model for young people ways to manage the various media tools that surround them. Jonathan Alexander examines not only young adult texts and their media ecologies but also young people’s multiliterate media making in response to their favorite texts and stories. As such, this book will be of interest to anyone concerned about young people’s literacies and the relationship between literacy development and the culture industries.
Jonathan Alexander is Chancellor’s Professor of English and director of the Center for Excellence in Writing and Communication at University of California, Irvine.

Overall, Writing Youth is extremely valuable in that it explicitly recognizes young adult fiction as embedded within a wider cultural media context in which young people are not merely passive consumers, but are actively engaged and agential. Alexander's concept of literacy sponsorship has wide-reaching implications not only for literary critics but also for educators and publishers.
