“Life Narratives and Youth Culture highlights the diversity in the life writing produced by young authors, including diaries, letters, memoires, zines, blogs and life writing on Facebook. … Life Narratives and Youth Culture is laudable for many reasons. The style is accessible and the arguments are backed up with well selected quotes and source references. … The authors open up a rich field of study that is relevant to many scholars working in children’s literature studies.” (Vanessa Joosen, International Research in Children's Literature, Vol. 11 (1), July, 2018)
