(12pm Sunday 28th March) - Teenedge Fiction
What does it mean to write for Young Adults? Mal Peet (winner of this year's Guardian Children's Fiction award for Exposure), along with Meg Rosoff, chips away at the limits of teenage fiction, and avoids its comfort zones. The novels they write find enthusiastic readers of all ages. They discuss edginess and the risks they take, not so much with subject matter as with style and emotional complexity.
