Jamie started reading it when he was 12 or 13, and he still loves the series now at 17!<br /><br />He's reading the Housekeeper and the Professor for World Lit (it's written by a Japanese author). His other required book for summer is The Metamorphosis by Kafka. I've heard they also read The Kite Runner in this class.<br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371737332853765197.post-82198179529033237052011-08-22T13:06:54.842-04:002011-08-22T13:06:54.842-04:00What class is the Housekeeper and the Professor fo...What class is the <i>Housekeeper and the Professor</i> for? Also, I don't have Fablehaven in my library. Do you think it is a high school series or more for middle grades? Perhaps I should get the series. I really like The <i>Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks</i>. Do let me know how you discussion goes on it.<br /><br />-Anne<br /><a rel="nofollow">My Head is Full of Books</a>Anne@HeadFullofBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069558006454986084noreply@blogger.com
