It can make moral, ethical, and philosophical conundrums both accessible and attractive while also providing positive role models and exposing young people to things they might have little experience of, like mental health and LGBT+ issues.
I read once that children who read Harry Potter indicated higher levels of empathy. Is YA fiction a way by which we can mould the next generation to be more open-minded, kind, and inquisitive?
I know you don't mean it that way, but can't help thinking of some people using YA fiction to purposefully manipulate their audience, and how poorly equipped that audience is to fight it. And that concept scares the hell out of me.
That's a very good point. That's where I think the publishers themselves come in; I'm unsure where publishing legislation currently stands, but the right laws could definitely help safeguard against the majority of threats.
YA is/was also ahead of the curve on good female protagonists. Also, they tend to have snappier dialogue and pacier stories, which some people (me!) prefer.
Exactly :) whether you prefer it actually just comes down to stylistic preference, a lot of the time.
