520	1		_a"Names and Naming in Young Adult Literature shows how authors of young adult literature use the creation of names for people, places, events, inventions, animals, and imaginary concepts as one of their most important literary techniques. Chapters address how authors use names to touch readers' emotions, reveal ethnic values and differences, create other worlds, and establish tone. Other chapters focus on authors' use of names to help readers remember who's who, such as J.K. Rowling in the Harry Potter series, or communicate separate messages to adults and young readers, as exemplified by Daniel Handler in the Lemony Snicket books."
520	8		_a"Names in one book can lead readers to make similar observations about names and naming when they read other books. Studying name choice is a wonderful first step in introducing readers to the concept of literary criticism as pleasurable and informative. Public and school librarians, college instructors of young adult literature, teachers of creative writing, high school English teachers, and anyone else who is interested in young adult literature will find this book valuable and engaging."--Jacket.
