Of Places

No study of literature is complete without exposure to classic authors such as Robert Frost, Rudyard Kipling, O. Henry, Washington Irving, and many more. Of Places will take your child on a world-wide adventure as he journeys through the life of Corrie ten Boom in The Hiding Place, fact and fiction to find Paul Bunyan’s flapjack griddle, the headless horseman of Sleepy Hollow, and Mowgli’s friends from The Jungle Book. Several selections based on missionary and military adventures promoting character-building qualities such as perseverance, sacrifice, and courage. Build your child’s enjoyment of literature while teaching him to understand different literary devices and discern different values in each story.  Combine literary classics with quality themes to give your 8th grader the optimal literature experience.
