'Teen Dreams' charts the development of the teen movie, from a marketing category to a full-blown genre obsessed with answers to its own past. The book discusses the evolution of themes like the 'mean girl' & 'the loss of virginity' & shows how teen films & TV series deal with the tragic & comic undersides of the American dream.
