This revised edition of Young Adult Literature in Action gives librarians an easy-to-use guide for organizing selection criteria and finding the best titles for their specific usage. An ideal resource for teaching young adult literature courses, each chapter includes revised and updated information on collaborative activities, featured books, special topics and programs, selected awards and celebrations, historical connections, recommended resources, issues for discussion, author comments, and assignment suggestions.

Coverage of graphic novels—especially "manga" titles within this genre—have been significantly expanded in Chapter Two: "Quick Reads" and in the science fiction portion of Chapter Four: "Fantastic Fiction," reflecting the growing number of titles and increasing interest in them. Additionally, recent titles have been added that reflect popular trends and interests in young adult literature, such as science fiction and fantasy books that blur the lines between genres—novels about dystopias, vampires, and zombies, for instance.
