What People are Saying About This
Since its initial publication, ^IFrom Hinton to Hamlet^R has been a standard title for all those interested in using young adult literature in the classroom. But now, with this splendidly expansive new edition, it becomes an instant classic, an indispensable resource, which proves that young adult literature has finally come of age…as literature. Bravo!

This second edition of the Herz and Gallo book reads like teachers talking with each other, and the conversation is full of information, suggestions, and resources, including extensive lists of titles that fit interdisciplinary categories, thematic units, archetypes, and classic/young adult literature pairings. The authors are not only avid readers of young adult literature, but are experienced teachers who know how to reach the range of students in today's classrooms. This work expands our knowledge and appreciation of a wealth of well-crafted literary works, classic and contemporary, while also suggesting various ways to teach literature so that all readers have an opportunity to consider the big questions about what it means to be human.

The new edition of ^IFrom Hinton to Hamlet^R will do more than build bridges between YA literature and the classics. Herz and Gallo's efforts will build bridges between teachers who love the classics and their students who long for more contemporary literature. It will also build an important bridge for students between classics that are often less than accessible to contemporary readers and YA literature that imparts similar themes and concepts. Finally, the inclusion of the role of the librarian (both in the school and public libraries) will build an essential bridge that connects teacher and students and librarians in an effort to make reading a more enjoyable and rewarding experience. This professional must-read will refresh teachers looking for innovative approaches to expand and explore the literary canon at the secondary level. Particularly helpful will be the wealth of connections made between and among classic and YA texts and the concrete teaching ideas such as the Author Paper.
The first edition of ^IFrom Hinton to Hamlet^R is good; the second edition is great. This is a must-have book. Sarah Herz and Don Gallo know teens and their reading interests, and they know how to bring them together. They offer sensible, substantial suggestions and a multitude of intriguing titles in this highly readable book. I'm recommending it to every current and future teacher I know.
