In some YA novels, the heroes have to decipher their journey through a literal guidebook they find.
Sometimes it's a manual provided by the PTB, as in So You Want To Be A Wizard by
dduane.
Sometimes it's a guide left by the parents' generation, as in Jellicoe Road, The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks, or the Marauder's Map of the Harry Potter books. There's something similar in the Rebel Angels books, right?
In Walter Dean Meyers' Handbook for Boys, there's no literal book, but the title layers an implication of guidebook nature over the advice given by the prior generation.
Other examples?
