Peela Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I am looking for "the" book to read aloud to my 14 and 15yos next term. It is my dd15's last year homeschooling with us and we are rushing through the Renaissance/Early Modern period in 10 weeks in order to spend 30 weeks on Modern History- as she is going into Journalism and she really wants to focus on Modern history. I want this year to be memorable and enjoyable. Dd15 will be reading Pride and Prejudice for the term, ds14 will be reading 20000 Leagues Under the Sea (probably something else too). I am ok with Logic Stage books rather than too hard, but it depends (and we have read everything in the WTM logic stage list for this period). I was thinking of a Dickens but it just doesn't excite me. I am looking for a book that kind of/loosely goes with our period, but that is not a heavy going classic. Something enjoyable (classic is ok, just not the meatier end of the spectrum). Any ideas? Can be a bit off beat. We are not treading a strictly classical path.
