La lettre (French Edition) by Theresa Marrama

I like this book and am so glad I made time to read it with my French 2's before we study passé composé. They got to see lots of verbs we've been studying throughout the year, but it reads as a story- not a thematic review of curriculum topics. The story is simple, but relatable. The prologue is a teaser that made students guess about what was in the letter. Students related to the text's accounts of uncertain friendship, waiting for that text, uncertainty about what to share or who to share important information with, and above all acceptance from loved ones. About half-way in students started having fun predicting what would happen. Some students were surprised, some students weren't. Some student's really liked it, some students weren't fans of the love story genre. They all whether they liked to story or not, got really into chapter 9 with the letter though.

This story is very easy to read despite the complicated emotions it addresses.
