Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The study investigated the following problem: What is the best estimator of failure to appear (FTA) for felons in Ramset County, Minnesota, who are released into the community during their pretrial period?

Dick And Jane Grow Up : Trends In Fiction For Young Adults, Nancy Veglahn Jan 1977

Dick And Jane Grow Up : Trends In Fiction For Young Adults, Nancy Veglahn

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The YA novel may be defined, then, as a work of fiction intended and published especially for readers between the ages of thirteen and eighteen. The distinction is to some degree an artificial one created by the realities of publishing. If a book is purchased by the juvenile division of a publishing company, it is presented as a YA novel. The same book might conceivably have been bought and published by the adult division of the same company, in which case it would be considered an adult book. There is some crossing back and forth across these artificial barriers. YA …
