Reviews
'It is a beautiful thing the way literature can fire the hearts of teenagers (and the rest of us): the stories transport us into the experiences of others, the way the author conveys them allows us to step into the vision of someone else and understand it; and, especially, the excitement a teacher shares for a book is a lesson that lasts a lifetime and nourishes the student every day. It is all this that David Sloan conveys about teaching literature to teens. Open Life Lessons and discover the magic for your self. And, then share some of it with a teenager!'
