Introducing My Students to My Friends in Young Adult Literature.

Daniel, Patricia L.

ALAN Review, v29 n2 p54-56 Win 2002

Describes how the author introduces her students to books by talking about the character in the books as if she knows them and as if they are her friends. Notes how referring to characters as "friends" opens up more possibilities for open discussions of sometimes controversial topics. (SG)
