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:

  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.
