THIS WAS SO GREAT! I'm currently in a class called "The Golden Age of Children's Literature" and it's so cool to see how similar and dissimilar it was to the Golden Age of Young Adult literature! I'd love to see more of these videos, I loved it!
That sounds like the coolest class ever!!!
ZOE!!! HI👋👋!
Twilight and The Hunger Games! This was totally true. I remember after these two were published, all sorts of YA books seemed to pop out of nowhere. Long live YA! :D
This was such an interesting, entertaining, and informational video!! I never knew YA was actually that old!!
I liked this video too.
I don't even want to imagine a world without ya.
"This party is lit!"
"It's literally lit!"
"It's lit lit!"
"It's literature lit lit!"
"It's lit lit lit!"
Nancy Drew!!! I love those books!!!
TheKaityStar2 Totally 💕
OMFG THE OUTSIDERS MADE ME BAWL MY EYES OUT.... "stay gold"
....huh...I feel very educated suddenly. Great to see how YA has evolved
I started reading YA at 9 years old, I'm 13 and I still cant get enough
This video is awesome! It's probably my favorite video epic reads has published so far :). Please make more in this style. I really liked learning about the history of YA. Maybe you could do some themed on specific authors or genres?
this was really fun to see, loved the editing. Also, cool information too!
This is gorgeous! I love how this was filmed! So intriguing.
THIS VIDEO HAS ALL OF THE FEELS
Fantastic video! This makes me so proud to be a YA writer
I love watching this video, gives me goosebumps every time
LOVE this video! YA is so strong, it's going to be around forever.
I'm loving these videos
Thanks so much for this history lesson! I was thinking earlier that I seemed to have missed the big YA boom, and this video helped prove me right and wrong. While I enjoyed Goosebumps and Animorphs as a kid, my major teen years were in the late 90s early 00s, when the YA slump was happening. Yes, I read YA books here and there (PERKS!), but no major series besides Harry Potter. By the time I got into Twilight in 2008, I was already 21.
There is nothing like a good YA novel to read.
Great video! Thank you BR!
Very cool video! Thanks epic reads for being awesome. :)
Ah this is awesome! Thank you!
This was such an interesting video!
This was brilliant!!
my favorite genre right here.
Awesome video!
I did my dissertation on YA (Self Identity and Young Adult Dystopian Fiction), and one of the hardest things to come to a concrete conclusion to is what YA is specifically... is it author determined (i.e. a writer sets out to write a YA book and that is why a book is YA), or is it purely a marketing decision (publisher thinks it would do well in the market and gives it the label), are there inherent markers, attributes or tropes which make it YA? (All YA books seem to have a YA protagonist... but are all books with YA protagonists therefore YA?). To be honest I don't think there is a one size fits all answer, which is both awesome and frustrating when you are writing about it! Harry Potter, for example, seems to become YA at the end of the 4th book with the line "Kill the Spare". Suddenly this meaningless death happens and everything afterwards continues down this honest and dark path, and it becomes harder and harder to justify the MG label.
The transitional book is in fact the 3rd one
idk about u but this was golden
get it, *puns*
I found you guys on the Roku ;p I can totally relate to book nerd problems >.
Loved this video! :D
Omg the outsiders its my all time favourite book
1:59 my favourite book ever
This was super neat!
Sweet Valley High 😂😂 i miss that series
Take that snooty book people! YA Literature is a legitimate form of literature and is here to stay! Ha!
This was so cool! :D
This was a very interesting video. I'm amazed that YA is that old. I think YA books are great because they have a wide audience and can be very relatable. Also, YA books can be read by adults too.
So cool!
goosebumps! ❤️
I hope that YA just continues to grow bigger and go into like...A Platinum Age of YA xD
THG and the Giver and Divergent!
That was awesome! I feel bad for the teens who had to go through the ya slump!
omg when i got to the part where they said “people thought ya would disappear as a genre” i was about to cry. if ya ever disappeared in the future I wouldn’t know what to do with my life
I did a speech on this my freshman year. Ah, memories.
this is awesome I'd always wonder where YA originated from :D
I have all R.L Stine books!
THIS WAS SOO COOL 😭
This was so cool
THIS VIDEO IS AWESOME! what well made video :)
Ya'll forgot about Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. A YA novel before the YA genre ever even existed.
Just so y’all know *I L O V E THE SELECTION SERIES*
If you like Romance, Drama, pre- future stuff then this is the book!
Haha I still have my Sweet Valley High books :)
Word on the street is Michael Grant actually wrote some of those books!
I want to read those books.
Epic Reads really??!? That's the best news I've heard all week :D
TheKaityStar2 If you get a chance, try it..They're so crazy dramatic lol
BO-OK NERD Canada I will. I technically read a part of the second book, but that's pretty much it. I also like the TV show.
THIS IS COOL!
❤️
Howl's Moving Castle is YA?! o_O Ghibli makes it look like a children's book xD
You totally have to read the book. Diana Wynne Jones is a goddess!
It is. It's younger than Harry Potter. Harry Potter for example is YA. Howl is MG
Is it right that I'm 11 have a 11th reading level and reading YA books and like them
The hunger games!!
Harry potter was also a big reason also
Just USA books?
Omg Go ask Alice and The one ajaksjjsksjzjz
The current decade, isn't called "Now", it's called the "10s".
What about Harry Potter?
I'm pretty sure that's considered children's or middle grade.
Harry Potter is actually considered Middle Grade / Childrens, not YA
That's weird, cause it falls right into the 12-18 age group mentioned in the video. Not to mention that it also deals with death and politics, for example.
I think Harry Potter is so highly praised and loved that not being included in this video is not going to change that fact. :D
Sure, sure, I agree. But I think it had a significant impact by opening the doors to other series like Twilight, The Hunger Games and Divergent, so I did miss it when they talked about this 2nd Golden Age of YA.
Basically good teens against the evil adults😂
No harry potter?
why YA is for teens if if YA means young adults
?
Teens are young adults. During High School we are teens. By the time we get out of high school we are adults. We are a small version of adults. Like pre-adults. (sorry not very good at explaining.)
