middle and secondary curriculum--while nourishing their love of reading.  This is not an encyclopedic reference book of the past--but rather a cutting edge resource for teachers who want to connect with their techno-savvy 21st century students and in turn connect them to the literature of today.  Using themes of exploration and connecting to literature--the authors emphasize actual reading of books, rather than reading about them.  The authors also encourage using the Internet to expand our knowledge and interest of literature.  Finally, the text contains the most current materials that will get adolescents reading–horror, humor, mystery, science fiction, fantasy, graphic novels and comic books.
