Hi Everyone

I'm an MLIS student, and I appreciate, and have been taking advantage of all of your wisdom and experience.

Many teachers in my area are requiring their students to read a "classic" this grading period. Titles such as Huck

Finn, and Call of the Wild come to mind, but I am wondering: what constitutes a
"classic"? The students in

question range from 4th to 8th grade.

Thanks so much,
