This document provides a worksheet for analyzing young adult (YA) novels using Joseph Campbell's model of the hero's journey. The hero's journey consists of 17 stages: ordinary world, call to adventure, refusal of the call, meeting with the mentor, crossing the first threshold, tests allies and enemies, approach, ordeal, reward, the road back, resurrection, and return with the elixir. The worksheet prompts the analyst to describe how components of a selected YA novel correspond to each stage of the hero's journey.
