Special Fields
DescriptionMore than 50 powerful letters from young readers to authors reveal some of the ways that the readers' lives were changed by books. Culled from the Letters About Literature contest of the Library of Congress Center for the Book, these letters reveal how deeply books and poetry affect the lives of readers. ReviewsThe subtitle will have librarians, teachers, and reading specialists reaching for this book...While the students' letters reveal how deeply books and poetry affect the lives of young readers, the volume is probably most likely to find a home with educators and adults with a passion for books and reading. Earnest and often revealing.--Kirkus Reviews This well-crafted collection offers excellent examples for student writers and could easily be incorporated into lessons as a mentor text. Creative writing teachers may want to consider for classroom use.--School Library Journal |
