In the twentieth century, books such as Scott O'Dell's Island of the Blue Dolphins (1960), and Jean Craighead George's My Side of the Mountain (1959) and Julie of the Wolves (1972) became popular because they are:
 
  a. mystery stories in which young adult readers could become sleuths in the pursuit of murderous criminals.
  b. survival stories in which the hero or heroine adapted to rather than conquered the environment.
  c. graphic novels, the earliest form of adventure and mystery, which captured the interest of young adult readers.
  d. humorous books as young adult readers turned away from adventure and mystery for lighthearted books that would make them laugh.

Question 2

The fact that many young adults are turning to realistic fiction for answers can be seen in the phenomenal success of ________________ by Ann Brashares, the first young adult debut novel to sell over 100,000 copies.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
