For this book club, we will be using the book Eagle of the Ninth by Rosemary Sutcliff. You can purchase it in digital, paperback, hardcover, and audio formats. It is also available at many local libraries.

Additionally, you will need Breakfast on Mars and 37 Other Delectable Essays edited by Rebecca Stern & Brad Wolfe.

To complete the grammar exercises, you will need Painless Grammar by Rebecca Elliott, Ph.D.

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

Parent Note:

This novel includes violence typical of war and battle scenes, including injuries, death, and moments of peril. Themes of slavery, cultural conflict, and prejudice are central, though they are handled with sensitivity and provide strong opportunities for discussion about history and morality. There is no sexual content and little to no profanity. While some descriptions of violence and captivity may be intense, the novel is well-suited for high school readers interested in history, honor, and cross-cultural friendship.

We recommend this course for high school students.
