出版商概要
This book should be widely read by educators...it is very informative. School Library Association ...a powerful argument for appreciating and evaluating Stine's style, popularity, and contribution to young adult literature...Jones perspectives are insightful... School Library Journal ...an engaging critical study of the biggest seller in children's literature...is as much advocacy as critical appraisal, and the writer has done an excellent job of supporting that advocacy...thorough but breezy and accessible, this is a title that will provide fodder for many librarians grappling with the mass-market issue. The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books If you are interested in Stine's life and his career path, if you want a bibliography of his books, assessment and criticism of major works, discussion of his literary influences and his position in young adult literature, this volume is for you. Joys Jones provides us with plenty to think about as he helps us understand R.L. Stine as a person, as a writer, and as a power in children's literature. He also gives us insight into today's children: what they do, what they want, what they think...and what they fear. These are all important considerations for parents and educators when we decide whether or not we are afraid of R.L. Stine. Journal Of Adolescent and Adult Literacy Jones's writing is lively and enthusiastic and he delivers the goods. His respect for young people and their reading tastes shines through. Buy this book.

Reference and Research Book News Educators, librarians and media specialists should welcome the depth of thought and research that has been poured into this study. It deserves a place in professional and library collections alongside his brief autobiography. Catholic Library World 再读一些...
