I need the name of a book....

[DesignDawg]

Hey all,

Heather and I were just thinking about books we read in high school, and we both remember a book that somehow involves boys (I think at a boarding school) who are in a tree, and they push one out, and he breaks his leg or something.... We can't remember more details, but the name is driving us crazy! Anyone think of it?

No.

 

[snow patrol]

hehe, good luck DD. That's going to be a tough one, not much to go on there...but I'm sure some bright spark here will know it

Bump

 

[Pretender]

I read that in 7th grade...I can't remember the name.....

I think it's A separate peace, but I'm not dead sure. I'll check amazon and keep racking my brain for it.

 

[unxpurg8d]

Catcher in the Rye?

 

[Balt]

Pretender is right, that's A Separate Peace

 

[Imported]

What they said, It's A Separate Peace by John Knowles. I just read this book 2 weeks ago for English..

 

[Isla]

Yes, A Separate Peace.

Gee, let's all read The Scarlet Ibis again, too! (Actually, I am in the process of creating an English Lit curriculum, and I have been reviewing all the stuff I read. )

The best literature is often the most upsetting, isn't it?

 

[Valhalla1]

oh yeah, I remeber the scarlet ibis. that was sad.

 

[Isla]

Now, did anyone read Alas Babylon?

That was cool. I have to dig it up for my daughter...


edit: Unexpurg8d... Sure! I get first dibs on Nancy Drew.

We read those two at the same time in high school - gotta love compare/contrast assignments! BLECH - three zillion years ago (they were on stone tablets back then - when carrying a girl's books for her MEANT something ) which is why I get 'em confused. Now I think I'll go reread both and see what I slept through..lol. I always meant to...sigh.

Isla, if you're gonna make us all read books from our childhood I'm only reading Trixie Belden books.
