It all began with a story...
When was the first time you heard of a dystopian novel? Do you know what the meaning of a dystopia or know of any books that are dystopian novels? Yes? Well are any of them for the younger audience? No? What if I were to tell you the popular series by Suzanne Collins The Hunger Games or Lois Lowry's The Giver falls into this category? This website is here to inform you, the reader, about what a dystopian novel is specifically in the Young Adult (YA) genre and how integrated it has become in our society. I will discuss how we—the young or the old, male or female— can learn from this subgenre of YA and why it is important for them to be explored.
