The realm of realistic fiction is related to young adult literature and relates to what is happening in their lives. It is subdivided into sub genres, these being:
- LGBTIQA
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
- Multicultural Literature
- Historical fiction
Then we delve into the fiction that is not part of their world but takes them to another world.
- Fantasy Fiction
- Speculative Fiction
- Dystopian Fiction
- Horror Fiction
- Steampunk
The young adult literature is something that I struggle with. I also know that some of these titles have the potential to be censored as I work in a Christian school. For some fantasy fiction we require parental approval before we can allow a student to borrow that book. I am certainly keen to further my knowledge of these genres.
