Brigid in NC Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 My 11th ds enjoyed Great Expectations, A Tale of Two Cities, and Oliver Twist over the high school years. My 8th grade ds loved Oliver Twist this year. So for us, Dickens has been the biggest hit. My co-op English class girls loved Jane Eyre. Pride and Prejudice was also a big hit among the guys and the girls. Take care. ;) ~Brigid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
