I am a professional Middle School and High School teacher and have taught for more than 7 years. I have taught this novel multiple times on Outschool and once through public school as well. Below is a link to the course where I have run this course as a part of the novel studies that I run here. I am also a part of a local book discussion group and we have studied this novel before as well. If you have questions, please let me know!
