This is a novel that I have taught many times in several different types of settings: classic novel book discussions (see links), private 1-1 tutoring, and public school courses. I hope that students enjoy the powerful emotional novel but be aware that it is an emotional book that many students find sad. Students are encouraged to talk it out with someone and with the teacher!
