| The Adventures of Huck Finn, A Wrinkle in Time, The Outsiders, A Light in the Attic, Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Little Black Sambo, and How to Eat Fried Worms were all required reading or read to us as elementary school children.
Lord of the Flies, Flowers for Algernon, among many others on that list were all required reading at my high school... and I went to a very rural school in the midwest. We're not all turbo religious nutjobs here. |
