In the modern world, there is a pressing question about what school-aged children read, as their minds are actively shaped by social media and the vast array of information available on the inter-net. It is essential to include works by contemporary authorsin the school curriculum, whose texts act as intertextual and hypertextual dialogues that engage with the literary works of previous eras, guiding young readers in the right direction. In this paper, we attempt to identify the need for study-ing detective literature in schools as the most popular genre. This genre is represented by various subgenres, such as historical detective and new detective. This is due to the phenomenon of post-modernism, which inextricably links literature and cinema, and features such as rethinking of histo-ry. The study of such works at school is seen as one of the right solutions to the problem of reading both in literature lessons, as well as history, geography, since the way of knowing the world through a work of art is one of the key ones in the formation of personality and the formation of the worldview and moral position of the younger generation.
