Abstract:
"The search for one's identity is an ancient quest reflected throughout history in myths and stories where human glory and conquest are often layered with great pain and self doubt. Today, this quest is found prevalently in young adult novels, where characters wrestle with modern dilemmas in order to find themselves. This reference resource provides teachers, media specialists, parents, and other adults with a link to these young adult novels and suggests how to use them effectively."--Jacket.
