It provides a unique source of expert guidance that youth services librarians, professional storytellers, and middle and high school teachers will appreciate.Readers will learn how to find stories for teens, apply proven techniques for successful telling of tales to teens, use traditional literature as a basis for creative writing, and establish a teen storytelling club or troupe.

Recenzii

Engaging Teens with Story offers a nuanced and refreshing approach to storytelling for the young adult audience. . . . Youth advocates will appreciate this well-researched guidebook that not only explains how brains create and manage stories but also provides real-life techniques, strategies, and action plans. . . . . As one who runs a court-ordered camp for at-risk youth, this reviewer was delighted to find ways to encourage positive behaviors and practices for this often-misunderstood audience. . . . Engaging Teens with Story is a highly recommended resource for young adult advocates.
Del Negro and Kimball have compiled essays from an excellent variety of contributors for running storytime programs aimed at young adults. . . . With such a wealth of content, readers can select the projects that fit best with their libraries. The bibliography and further reading are essential and offer valuable ideas, and helpful websites are appended. Recommended for all librarians, especially those new to working with young adults.
