Description

Detective Fiction for Young Readers is an examination of contemporary mystery stories for children and young adults. This volume explores how the conventions, rules, and expectations of adult mystery fiction have filtered down, so to speak, especially in the past several decades, to writing for younger readers. The book is organized into three sections that explore the whodunit, the hardboiled, and the metaphysical styles of mystery fiction. Furthermore, this text analyzes how each style has been adapted for a younger audience, acknowledging and exploring representative novels most in keeping with that style. This volume is ideal for students, academics, and readers interested in children’s mystery fiction that adheres to formulas made popular after the golden age of classic detective fiction.
