Description

Detective Fiction for Young Readers is an examination of contemporary mystery stories for children and young adults. This volume explores how the conventions, rules, and expectations of adult mystery fiction have filtered down so to speak, especially in the past several decades, to writing for younger readers. The book is organized into three sections that explore the whodunit, the hard-boiled, and the metaphysical. Furthermore, this text analyses how each style has been adapted for a younger audience, acknowledging and exploring representatives novel that is most in keeping with that style. This volume is ideal for both students, academics and readers interested in children’s mystery fiction that adheres to formulas made popular after the golden age of classic detective fiction.
