Teachers Rick Ayers and Amy Crawford always wanted to find a
guide to the vast world of great books for teenagers-one that
didn’t talk down or moralize. When they couldn’t find one, they set
out to create it.
An early prototype offered at Cody’s Bookstore in Berkeley,
California, was an instant success. Great Books for High School
Kids is the culmination of their efforts.
Collecting recommendations and essays from colleagues and
advisers around the country, this is a rollicking, thoughtful,
against-the-grain guide that challenges stodgy notions of what
great books are and what kids are ready for.
The book starts with seven essays by high school teachers about
exciting, exemplary experiences they have had reading books with
students in the classroom-from Dorothy Allison’s Bastard Out of
Carolina to Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon to Aeschylus’s Oresteia
trilogy.
Augmented by an index of more than seventy subjects, the book
also has an annotated list of hundreds of Recommended Great Books.
The recommendations are playful and irreverent, ambitious and
entertaining, and they go way beyond traditional reading lists.
From classics to the unexpected, from literary novels to
nonfiction, some drama, and even a little poetry, these are all
books that teenagers have read with pleasure and can read on their
own.
Great Books for High School Kids is an invitation and a
sourcebook for inspiring passionate, lifelong readers-a book that
could seriously change the lives of teachers, of families, and of
kids.
