The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare - I hadn't read this book since I was a little girl. I wanted to pick just one book in the time period for Second Daughter so decided to read it again to see if was as good as I remember. It was! So it's on her list. (library copy)
The Taming of the Shrew by Shakespeare (No Fear Shakespeare edition) - First Son (eleventh grade) and First Daughter (eighth grade) will both be reading this play this year. I imagine First Daughter will be mighty displeased by much of the play, especially Katherine's speech in Act V at the end of the play, but I hope she will learn a little about enjoying what we can from a work of literature, even if it doesn't conform to our ideas of equality. First Son will find it hilarious from beginning to end. I have to admit, though, I'm still a little confused about why we need Christopher Sly. (purchased copy)
