I re-read 𝑻𝒐 𝑲𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒂 𝑴𝒐𝒄𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒃𝒊𝒓𝒅 as an adult on a whim and I couldn't believe how much I once again adored this book. Now the book remains at the top of my all-time favorites list, and I'd love to share it with you in a way that makes you come to love the brilliance of the story and its author. As an author myself, I particularly enjoy studying the works and perspectives of other female authors. I have taught this class over 30 times here on Outschool!

Please see the Common Sense Media site to determine if your student is ready to read this title.
