For this book club, we will be using the Young Readers Adaptation of The Boys In The Boat by Daniel James Brown. You can purchase it in digital, paperback, hardcover, and audio formats. It is also available at many local libraries.

You will also need a notebook for your notes, copywork, dictation, and journaling.

Parent Note:

This young readers' adaptation includes historical themes related to the Great Depression and World War II, along with physical hardship, intense athletic training, and brief references to war and political tension. There are no curse words, sexual content, or slurs. The focus is on teamwork, perseverance, and resilience, with challenges presented in an age-appropriate, non-graphic way. A solid choice for upper elementary and middle school readers, especially those interested in history or sports.
