3.0 out of 5 stars Not very good quality, Jan 4 2012

This review is from: Using Young Adult Literature in the English Classroom (Paperback)
The book lasted about half a semester and the pages started falling out. It was embarrassing to give a presentation in my graduate class while my reference pages were falling out. The only reason I gave it three stars is because I love the content. Tons of links and extras to really help you use and apply the lessons to your teaching style. I gave it to my sister (10th grade English teacher) and she uses it in her classroom.
