Hi Jenny,
I did enjoy walking each step of the way with you, with this whole HG thread. Seeing your openness and willingness to look at things outside your comfort zone has been really refreshing.

My 17 year old has seen the movie and I have now read the first book. Well, I have done a complete about turn and agree with everything Susan has written here. We have had some great discussions so far and I love the way good quality fiction can get us to look at things from the viewpoint of the characters involved. I am not saying real life news etc isn’t a good way to learn, but fiction gives us another dimension and one teens will often respond to positively because it is something they have enjoyed reading/watching themselves. I was very impressed by the maturity of some of my daughters thoughts and as soon as I have read the other two will probably give it to my 14 year old. Thank you for all the hard work you have done finding these links Susan.

are on this. Seeing the movie made me want to read all the books.
