Product Description
Eighth Grade Summer Reading
Memoria Press believes that literature and poetry are central subjects in a classical education. Why? Because they are the chief ways that we pass on the ideals and values of traditional Western Christian culture. Not only will your child’s affections be trained to love the good (and hate the bad) through characters they encounter. But they will get a glimpse into the wonder of reality that only good poetry can reveal to us. Our literature and poetry program brings you a choice selection of the best books by the best authors.
In the heart of New England, the March sisters—sweet, beautiful Meg; headstrong, intelligent Jo; gentle, tenderhearted Beth; and lively, dramatic Amy—grow up amidst the backdrop of the Civil War in Little Women. With their father away serving as a chaplain, the girls and their mother, Marmee, hold the front line at home.
Horatio Hornblower, only seventeen years old, gets his sea legs in this compelling first installment—Mr. Midshipman Hornblower—of C. S. Forester’s classic naval adventure series.
Exciting and action-packed, The Call of the Wild explores the timeless relationship between man and dog, and the inevitable draw of primal instincts that pull Buck away from civilization and humanity towards the lawless and harsh wilderness.
