Publisher Description
Todd Anderson and his friends at Welton Academy can hardly believe how different life is since their new English professor, the flamboyant John Keating, has challenged them to "make your lives extraordinary!" Inspired by Keating, the boys resurrect the Dead Poets Society--a secret club where, free from the constraints and expectations of school and parents, they let their passions run wild. As Keating turns the boys on to the great words of Byron, Shelley, and Keats, they discover not only the beauty of language, but the importance of making each moment count.
But the Dead Poets pledges soon realize that their newfound freedom can have tragic consequences. Can the club and the individuality it inspires survive the pressure from authorities determined to destroy their dreams?
N. H. Kleinbaum, a graduate of the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, is a former newspaper reporter and editor. Her other novelizations include the Bantam Starfire title Growing Pains and D.A.R.Y.L. She lives in Mt. Kisco, New York, with her husband and three children.

Awesome! Made my cry!
This book is really good and I can’t express how much i genuinely read into this. I own a lot of books but these years I haven’t been reading as much, although I easily got into this book and finished it in less than a month. I brought it to many events. It is a good book and the movie adaptation is also worth watching. Some warnings that should be considered are mentioned drinking, child neglect, emotional abuse, and suicide.
Loved this book
This book was amazing! I loved the plot, the story was beautiful and it did break my heart with emotions everywhere. I will probably read it 100 times again because it taught me a lot. The writing was okay, definitely not the best, but it is for young grades so makes sense. Definitely read! It was great and an eye opener.
