Lucy Schall is a retired high school and middle school teacher, a book reviewer for VOYA, and author of numerous Libraries Unlimited booktalking guides.
Help is here for harried young adult librarians, media specialists,
teachers, and teen group leaders. Schall provides a useful and
well-organized compendium of background information, booktalks, and
activities for more than one hundred YA titles….Schall's booktalks
are models of their kind--brief, tantalizing, and right on target
for young adult listeners. Her Learning Opportunities (follow-up
activities) are generally excellent, ranging from simple to
challenging, and include writing and viewing projects, group
activities, and class discussions. Practical, clearly written, and
admirably planned, this title should be a required purchase for the
professional collections of all those serving young adults.
