A: The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin. It was read to our class by my 6th grade teacher and I fell in love with it. I read it every few years and 2 years ago read it to my boys over the summer.
Q: What is your favorite piece of literature that we've read at SLOCA?
A: This is the hardest question to answer. It is probably easier to answer for each year we have done. Keep in mind, my children were mostly in Primary and Intermediate, so I have read the younger versions of some of these stories. Although, we as a family look forward to reading different versions as they get older.
Year 1: Ancients: The Trojan Horse and Cupid and Psyche
Year 2: Medieval Times: Robin Hood, but my boys also list Beowulf as a top favorite
Year 3: Renaissance: The Stories of Don Quixote and The Tempest, my youngest son's favorite book was A Midsummer Night's Dream
Year 4: Modern Times: Elijah of Buxton and Treasure Island
