"Shifting focus from the school story as traditionally defined, The School Story: Young Adult Narratives in the Age of Neoliberalism provides a creative and intelligent response to an ever-expanding and evolving genre, and firmly cements the school story as a permanent feature in the YA world.--Amy Naylor ""The International Journal of Young Adult Literature"" David Aitchison's The School Story is, quite simply, brilliant. It's intelligent, theoretically grounded, broadly conversant with primary and secondary materials, well researched, and well written. I know of no other book on the school story that is as engaged with the contexts and politics of the genre.--Beverly Lyon Clark, author of Kiddie Lit: The Cultural Construction of Children's Literature in America"
