Abstract: Young adult novels are books that are written with a problem-oriented approach, generally about identity inquiries during adolescence, internal family conflicts, friendship relations, and growth crises. Although such novels are not being produced with the concern of finding a solution to the problems experienced by adolescents, they can provide a wide perspective towards the solutions that are being created.
