      abstract = {"Denby sat in on a tenth-grade English class in a  demanding New York public school for an entire academic  year, and visited other schools. He read all the stories,  poems, plays, and novels that the kids were reading, and  creates an impassioned portrait of charismatic teachers at  work, classroom dramas large and small, and fresh and  inspiring encounters with the books themselves. Lit Up is a  dramatic narrative that traces awkward and baffled  beginnings but also exciting breakthroughs and the  emergence of pleasure in reading. Denby reaffirms the power  of great teachers and the importance and inspiration of  great books."--},
