Summary: New insights into children's literature
Review: Karen Coats's book is the finest instantiation of Lacanian theory available to theorists of children's and adolescent literature. Accessible to students and yet still offering challenging insights for more advanced scholars, Coats's work is elegantly written and ground-breaking. I recommend this book to all scholars in the field.
