Random quote: It is my conviction that the human race is no proper target for harsh words and bitter criticisms, and that the only justifiable feeling towards it is compassion; it did not invent itself, and it had nothing to do with the planning of its weak and foolish character. -- Mark Twain (The Autobiography of Mark Twain, Vol. 2)

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...
