What a treat that will be.

No need to enter me in the contest as I have all three of Laura’s books.

I’ve introduced into the curriculum Wilson Rawls’ Where the Red Fern Grows —for some this is their first exposure to how powerful good writing can be— and also Esther Forbes’ Johnny Tremain. I’ll have to think about Austen. Perhaps for my high school creative writing class?

Story ideas are long, and summer is short. I’ve got a whopping amount of writing to do. Thanks for the encouragement, Valerie! :)

The thing about Elizabeth Elliot is … she and I are very alike. We are! Down deep, in my heart of hearts, I am fond of my own opinions and am way too quick to judge. And I tend to snub people who are presumptuous, and I don’t put up with jerks. And if I were half as beautiful as Elizabeth, I might get away with such arrogance! But alas, she and I are not as smart as we think … :)

Do you introduce Jane Austen to your middle school classes?
