This study investigated whether reading young adult literature motivated young adult ESL learners and hastened their English literacy learning. The primary question considered if reading young adult literature had a positive influence on literacy development and academic confidence for these non-English speaking new immigrant middle school students. The findings suggested that reading young adult literature extensively played a dynamic role in ESL student literacy success. Reading provided a foundation for their development in literacy and helped them think and reason. Reading served as a tool for their success in problem solving. It also helped the ESL participants in this study succeed in their academic performance. The book is a qualitative research case study, anyone interested in qualitative research, middle school education, and ESL student education will find this book a real help for them to better understand ESL students' learning and literacy development.
