This is a fantasy story of good versus evil. It has won many awards and has been a staple throughout many young people's reading list. Despite that, it has faced several challengers, due to the fact that there is a Bible reference in the book, and the story indicates the figures of Jesus, angels, philosophers, and other good people of the world as defenders of Earth against evil. We are not evaluating this text for religious purposes, however; instead, our goal is to enjoy the adventure of Meg, her brother and her friend, Calvin, to gain understanding for why they act the way they do, how the events in the story affect them, and to gather new vocabulary and knowledge along the way. (You are welcome to ask me any questions about the course if this is a concern.)
