Lynne Rae Perkins' novel Criss Cross is
labeled by the Library Congress as being in the genre "Young Adult literature," however further
examination of the novel suggests a few other options for genre. Criss Cross
could definitely be considered a bildungsroman novel. This term refers to a book that follows a
young person to and through their moment of "coming of age." Classic novels like Pride
and Prejudice are also considered bildungsroman, as it follows the main character
through events that lead him or her to "come of age." Debbie, the main character in
Criss Cross, goes through a coming of age situation as she tries to discover
the love of her life, but ends up discovering more about herself than
anything.
