Honestly, Tania. It’s the kids. This class is so curious, engaged, and willing to try new things–like reading this book! (And I happen to love the book, too.) I did try to put it in context before we started reading (@capohanka’s French kids taught my kids about the French Revolution)…and before each chapter, I would prepare them for the next event. I also warned them the book was much like a soap opera, with events revealed slowly. As the kids saw the connections between characters and events, they began to look for clues. Great fun all around.

You’re doing something right, Susan, to get such engagement and willingness to passionately express points of view. Any hints?
