With so many resources already covering past and more modern-day classics, Literary Newsmakers for Students fills a glaring need for analysis and criticism on recent novels and other works of fiction, nonfiction and poetry. Providing all the same curriculum-related information researchers have come to expect from a more traditional reference, this title covers recent releases, including: The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown; The Secret Life of Bees, by Sue Monk Kidd; Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini; The Last Juror, by John Grisham; Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser and Here in Harlem: Poems in Many Voices, by Walter Dean Myers.
