School Library Journal

Gr 9 Up–A brief introduction by Bloom is followed by a biographical sketch of the featured author, a list of the characters for each book, a summary of each chapter, and several articles on various aspects of the work. The entries are signed but only fully cited in the appendix. Still, these articles, along with Bloom’s summary and analysis, will aid students looking for assistance with grasping the nuances of these books.–Carol Fazioli, Gwynedd-Mercy College, Gwynedd Valley, PA
