Abstract
In the last several years, there has been tremendous growth in the amount of literature written for and read by young adults. With this spike, the discussion has grown concerning the subject matter of these novels, and a general curiosity as to what teens find appealing in these works. One major recent trend in YA literature is the dystopian novel.
