The characteristics of young adult literature is that it has characters and issues young readers can identify with; those issues and characters are treated in a way that does not invalidate, minimize, or evaluate them, framed in language that young readers can understand, emphasizes plot above everything else and written for an audience of young adults.
The similarities and differences with more traditional works is for similarities, the theme would be more or less the same, it can be read by anyone and has values. In terms of differences, it basically caters for young adults since during their time, they will face issues such as bullying, social problems, dislocation and many more. This would make them to associate easily with the characters in the book. Also the usage of words is not very high, which in return makes the reading more easy and pleasureable compare to traditional works where the choice of words is unlimited. In other words, sexism words are avoided.
