This comprehensive volume takes a fresh approach to examining the role of literary response groups in teacher education programs, with a particular focus on leveraging young adult literature (YAL) to assist preservice teachers in navigating challenging moments during their training. Drawing from firsthand experiences of teacher candidates, the text showcases the potential of narrative-based inquiry and analysis of fictional depictions of teaching and learning to foster reflection on a wide array of common challenges. By utilizing a diverse range of well-known books, the volume demonstrates how YAL literary response groups can create a shared dialogical space, enabling participants to enhance their ability to reflect on practice, build resilience, and develop a deeper understanding of pedagogical principles. These insights ultimately contribute to the improvement of teacher education programs by enriching teacher candidates' understanding of pedagogy.

This text is of immense value to researchers, doctoral students, and academics specializing in teaching, teacher mentoring, and teacher education, particularly those with an interest in literature studies and YAL. Furthermore, individuals who have a general fascination with literature and YAL will also find this volume to be insightful and engaging.
