Abstract

Adolescence is a critical period in finding identity and achieving independence of thought. Young adult literature should correspond to the spiritual, physical, mental and emotional conditions of children and teenagers, and bring its audience to growth and maturity. It should be a mirror to reflect their concerns.
Teaching life issues and leading children and young adults toward thinking requires a safe and appropriate platform. It seems that fiction is one of the best and most profitable platforms in this field. Fiction makes children and young adults understand more about life and the surrounding environment and brings them into a free space away from any restrictions, which stimulates their thinking.
Jamshid Khanian is one of the prominent writers of children's and adolescents’ literature in Iran, who has been able to convey educational concepts to the audience beautifully by using special techniques in his stories.
