With their innovative themes, colorful characters, and slightly skewed approach, books written for children have become increasingly popular in adult markets. Falconer (English literature, U. of Sheffield) does not believe this as a result of a lack of intelligence amongst grownups but instead celebrates youth culture in a society that places a premium on quickness, flexibility and lightness. She feels the crossover of adults to children's fiction is a protest, and a desire for roots and for communally shared truths. She reviews the crossover market in Britain and gives the details on such examples as Rowling, Pullman, and Haddon, noting their journeys into the dark as well as into the light, and closes with a very good chapter on the work of C. S. Lewis (and others considered to have written children's classics) and their present popularity in film and on the page. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Recenzijos

"Well written and documented, this accessible volume, with its extensive bibliography, will be valuable for those interested in children's literature - highly recommended" -- Choice, March 2009

"The Crossover Novel is an exhaustively researched and deeply theoretical approach to the phenomenon of crossover literature...provides an excellent groundwork for further study in this arena of children's literature."

-- Children's Literature Association Quarterly, Summer 2009, Vol. 34, No. 2

"[ Falconer] seems genuinely interested in getting to the heart of profound questions of readership....What makes Falconers book so strong is that, although she may invoke her voracious child-reader self, she doesnt settle for easy answers." --The Lion and the Unicorn 33 (2009) '... Detailed understanding of the crossover phenonmenon... astute associations between Calvino and Freud... dizzying array of scholarship... The Crossover Novel is an exhaustively researched and deeply theoretical approach to the phenomenon of crossover literature in which Falconer undoubtedly draws on her own background in classical and contemporary theory... highly applicable to numerous areas of scholarship... provides an excellent groundwork for further study.' - Children's Literature Association Quarterly

'Falconers book provides a very strong and very interesting discussion of why crossover fiction has become so popular in the recent decade... What makes Falconers book so strong is that, although she may invoke her voracious child-reader self, she doesnt settle for easy answers... genuinely interested in getting to the heart of profound questions of readership, best illustrated in her self-reflective discussion of The Silver Chair... convincingly elucidates how th[ e] childs gaze is not simply a traditionally innocent one, but a complex one... It will be Falconers [ book] that ultimately enriches the critical field.' - The Lion and the Unicorn

"Engaging with the most current social and literary debates on the highest academic level, Falconer redeems the pledge she makes in the preface: 'This study will, I hope, contribute to the growing body of work which considers children's literature as literature.' - Bookbird, Vol. 48, No. 1, January 2010
