This course combines pleasure reading with academic reading - we would like our students to learn to love and understand books on a deeper level, so we'll discuss what we love about the book in meaningful discussions that digs deeper than a simple “I liked / didn’ liked it”, while also chatting about theme, symbolism, characters, story structure, tone and voice. We will read modern books that should appeal to a multitude of readers - please note that students must independently purchase or borrow the month's selected book. This month's book: "Matilda", Roald Dahl
