NCTE High School Literature Series

The NCTE High School Literature Series helps teachers get their students excited about literature. Each brief, accessible book focuses on a single author or work and features excerpts from the writer's works, biographical information, and samples of professional literary criticism. Rich in opportunities for classroom discussion and writing assignments, each book also offers many examples of student writing.
