Review on "Voices from the Wreckage"

Congratulations to Kimberly Karshner, the editor of the book "Voices from the Wreckage," for receiving a review from Laura D'Amore, appearing in the 'The International Journal of Young Adult Literature,' 2023, Volume: 4, Issue: 1. Page/Article: 1-5:

[…] Karshner gathers fourteen authors who, across twelve chapters, analyze how trauma is presented in literature for young adult audiences, engaging with diverse representations in both characterization and culture in terms of identity, geography, and genre.
[…] Rather than just making a general argument about the healing potential of these narratives, this book provides a road map for educators, exploring the practicalities and mechanics of introducing this content in schools.
[…] At a contemporary moment during which many forces are converging to ban books, or otherwise curtail access to books that discuss sexuality, this compilation of essays is a timely and inspirational tool for those of us who wish to engage in these ‘controversial’ conversations.
