Highlights
Narratives about American public education often focus on urban settings and the needs of urban students
Young adult (YA) literature is one place where educators can find such counternarratives or stories depicting multiple, diverse perspectives on rurality, because narratives are a way of knowing the world – a way of making sense of our lived experiences (Bruner, 1990; Short, Lynch-Brown, & Tomlinson, 2018)
As teacher educators who taught in rural schools in South Carolina and Florida, we wondered how rural people and places were depicted in contemporary YA literature
