[CASL-L] Summer Reading

[Loretta Sullivan]

Hi Christine,

These are some suggestions from one our grade 10 teachers (I hope this
helps):

*Things Fall Apart* by Chinua Achebe
*The God of Small Things *by Arundhati Roy (one of my absolute favorite
books)
*The Alchemist *by Paulo Coelho (reading level isn't "challenging" per se,
but the themes/concepts are)
*A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Child Soldier *by Ishmael Beah
*Like Water for Chocolate* by Laura Esquivel (magical realism makes it a
challenging read)
*Cry, the Beloved Country* by Alan Paton (author is white but South
African/anti-apartheid)
*Obasan* by Joy Kogawa
*The Joy Luck Club *by Amy Tan (technically an Asian-American author, but
many of the stories in the book jump back and forth between the US and
China)

AND

Also, any short story by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Leo Tolstoy, or Chimamanda
Ngozi Adichie are great!



Respectfully,
