(Question originated on LM_NET) :
>Please recommend a Ray Bradbury novel (not short story) for 8th graders.
> The teacher does not want to do "Fahrenheit 451". Thank you.
I read this note this morning and thought, "I wonder what Mr.
Bradbury would say ?"
I happen to be friendly with his publisher, so I asked him. "Jane,
Ray got that question frequently (for specific grade levels.)
Middle School is the perfect time to begin a full understanding of
his work."
["To your question," he said:] "Ray's answer would be..."
"...that Dandelion Wine and Martian Chronicles are suitable for this
age group. A love for literature and an understanding of it seems to
begin at this age level. Best wishes"
Happy Reading and warm regards, from cold, gray and very rainy Los Angeles!
What a perfect weekend to curl up with a good (Bradbury) book!
