"Fiona McCulloch’s most recent book marks an important contribution to studies of contemporary literature for children and young adults (YA). It makes an especially timely and telling intervention in a specifically Scottish critical landscape that has still to give proper, sustained attention to the rich and diverse modes of writing which it encompasses. In making a highly per-suasive, compelling, and densely argued case for the ethical relevance and reach of this body of work, McCulloch’s is surely the study that can redress that limitation."
