Abstract
The paper discusses the four novels for the young by the author Sanja Pilić
including the following: O mamama sve najbolje, Mrvice iz dnevnog boravka, Sasvim sam
popubertetio and Jesam li se zaljubila? In addition to the emphasis of the author's importance in
the Croatian children's literature, the interpretation of the novels is aimed at briefly outlining
their contents and significance. A more detailed interpretation is dedicated to the main
characters and their individual and common traits, adolescence being the most important one.
Furthermore, the paper deals with the similarities and differences between the characters of boys
and girls who are depicted true to their real-life counterparts. The evidence supporting those
similarities and differences can be found in the psychological literature. Although in many
respects similar, each character, as well as each person in real life, is unique with their striking
personality.
