Random quote: "I think that most of us, anyway, read these stories that we know are not "true" because we're hungry for another kind of truth: the mythic truth about human nature in general, the particular truth about those life-communities that define our own identity, and the most specific truth of all: our own self-story. Fiction, because it is not about someone who lived in the real world, always has the possibility of being about oneself. " - Orson Scott Card (Ender's Game)

Hi Everyone,

I am posting this for a friend who is working on an academic paper. I don't think they have to be in the SF genres. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Okay, YA readers--I'm seeking YA novels by Australian authors addressing social justice issues similar to The Hate U Give and All-American Boys.

Thanks,

Rhonda

Twelfth Planet Press probably publishes stuff in that direction. They have an anthology series for YA genre fiction that most definitely addresses those issues, but those are short stories.

The Aurealis Award also has a YA category. We don't list it on WWend but there might be something on that list. Wikipedia has a good overview. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurealis_Award_for_best_young_adult_no...
