Lots of issues with this. Blatant errors, e.g. attributing The Pigman to Richard Peck (it's Paul Zindel). Using the phrase "could care less" (it's couldn't care less). Including an essay by some woman named Patty Campbell who writes, "For a long while YA fiction depicted an all-white mostly middle-class world" (67), which is just not true.

More errors. Where is the editor?! In a discussion about "urban fantasy," there was this gem discussing LoTR: "...the horrors J. R. R. Tolkien experienced in WWII" (374). Tolkien FAMOUSLY used the influence of WWI (that's one, singular) to create Middle Earth. There's also the strange editorial choice to have a historical fiction writer share "social commentary" about SF/fantasy.
