My intermediate English language learners used this resource very successfully. As a result, I purchased a license for a colleague to use in his own classes. This resource contains a wide range of activities that my students generally found to be interesting and enjoyable...This resource deepened group and class discussion and improved student comprehension of story events. My students loved the book and this resource greatly facilitated their understanding of it.

Wonderful resource for an amazing book! I used it with gifted 5th graders. It was engaging and informative. We used it for great whole group and breakout discussions.

This was a great resource for my homeschool co-op students. It enhanced their understanding of the novel, increased their vocabulary and writing skills, and covered some US history. Enjoyed by all!
