Lit Up

One Reporter, Three Schools, Twenty-four Books That Can Change Lives
Mar 14, 2016bibliokrisp rated this title 4.5 out of 5 stars
I tore through this--I love the different schools, teachers and students Denby highlights in this book about the power of literature to educate, enliven and ennoble students (and readers in general). Reading challenging books can wake up a reader, and one of Denby's theses is that technology and social media take life and presence away from young people who need a quiet mental place to learn about other lives and other ways of thinking. (And all readers need that space.) Inspiring.
