Specifically thinking about The Little Match Girl and To Build a Fire
I believe “The Giver” has been overlooked.
Where the Red Fern Grows
But he didn’t freeze to death. There are sequels to The Giver. Gathering Blue isn’t a direct sequel but in the same universe. I forget the name of the actual sequel.
I learned something today. What I remember was him pulling up a pleasant memory as he was slowly freezing to death.
Um. Yep both of those are good.
Wait till they read winter reports about poverty and houselessness.
Where the red fern grows, tuck everlasting, z for Zachariah; a ton of suffering and death in so many lit books but don’t say it too loudly or they’ll ban them too for teaching folks how to deal with loss and painful endings.
To build a fire is so good! Would highly recommend it to anyone that is familiar with ‘The Cremation of Sam McGee’
