        Summary
        This thesis aims to find the different ways linguistic development is presented in the young adult novel Gretel and the Dark by Eliza Granville, and how the various aspects connected with it can be tackled in a Dutch translation. I will make a comparison between Gretel and the Dark and Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief, because the novels both have similar protagonists and settings and are aimed at the same age group. Following this, I will look at the Dutch translation of The Book Thief in order to find the translation strategies used by the translator and to see whether these strategies will be useful in translating Gretel and the Dark. Finally, I will translate a number of fragments chosen to highlight the issues discussed.
