For this book club, we will be using the book A Long Way Home by Saroo Brierley. You can purchase it in digital, paperback, hardcover, and audio formats. It is also available at many local libraries.

Additionally, you will need The Norton Sampler: Seventh Edition edited by Thomas Cooley. The essays are different in each edition so you will need the 7th edition for this course.

To complete the grammar exercises you will need Barron's E-Z Grammar by Dan Mulvey.

You will also need a notebook or binder for your notes, vocabulary, and writing.

Note to the Parent:

This moving memoir tells of a boy lost in India, adopted by an Australian family, and his eventual search for his birth mother. It deals with themes of loss, displacement, cultural adjustment, and emotional longing. There are emotionally intense scenes, such as separation and isolation, but no explicit sexual content, profanity, or drug/alcohol references. A heartfelt and powerful story, suitable for discussions around identity, family, and perseverance.
