conulyThe Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
To Kill a Mockingbird
Code Talkers
One Crazy Summer
And now she's about to start A Time to Dance. I've reassured her that finally, she's reading a book with no racism whatsoever, but I'm not sure she believes me. In fact, I know she doesn't - her response was "yeah, right, but I bet there's sexism". (In fact, there is not. Hah!)
We're doing that concurrently with Julius Caesar, which I want to get through before we see the play at the end of March.
But she does raise a good point. In my quest to make sure her reading list was as diverse as I could make it this year, it has veered a bit far in the "omg racism" direction. We might go with a few lighter reads before I hit her with Octavia Butler. Maybe we'll read Summer of the Mariposas. Not exactly light and fluffy, but a lot less racism omg.
