Compact, succinct, and well written, this book is a how to guide for literature educators in inquiry contexts. Thomas has something in this book for veterans and beginners.

For me, this is a book that will be dog eared and references regularly throughout my career for the foreseeable future.

Refers to lesson ideas which aren't printed in the book, apart from a URL link at the front, which then leads to an online dead end page advertising the book you've already bought. The book is quite slight albeit some lovely ideas previewed - just not fully explained (because of the missing lesson ideas you can't obviously access, despite having bought the book).
