A Guide to Contemporary Realistic YA Fiction
*Diversity is not a category separate from the rest. It's in addition to them.
A contemporary realistic novel takes place in a world easily recognized as today's world by the characters in the book, as well as the readers taking in the book. It betrays a sense of the cultural zeitgeist, as well as the fears, expectations, highs, and lows of what it means to be a teen in the present world.
