"Starting with the carefully crafted watchwords of anticipation to the prelude, interludes, and epilogue, Puig and Froelich have created an elegant professional narrative that introduces a transdisciplinary framework for instruction grounded in sound theory and research on literacy learning over time….The text encourages and persuades teachers and teacher leaders to explore and examine their own and others’ transdisciplinary literacy behaviors in ways that induce deeper understanding of the complexity of transdisciplinary literacy learning to solve real world issues."--Brian L. Cambourne, University of Wollongong, Australia
