Absolutely splendiferous article about YA literature and how it is connected to social change. Read it and go out to make a difference in the world!
Some of you might be familiar with The Harry Potter Alliance - an organization that takes advantage of the huge online Harry Potter fandoms to mobilize volunteers and donations among many other things.
