Active reading and thinking leads to a life-affecting experience with literature and poetry—forms that perhaps, paradoxically, convey the most truth about humans and their place in the world. The upper-school Literature Guides train students to read actively and lead students through a four-stage trivium-based continuum to the acquisition and expression of the Central One Idea. Students are guided to read and think through the pre-grammar, grammar, logic, and rhetoric stages toward the essence of the story, the central proposition that gives the story its greatest meaning and expression.d these for the nuanced reflection of the complex simplicity of life.
“So they went off together. But wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the Forest, a little boy and his Bear will always be playing.”

Merry Christmas and Happy Ice Queen!
Fourteen-year-old Josey and her ten-year-old, video-game-obsessed brother, Mason, live in Baudette, Minnesota, the Walleye Capital of the World. Their family owns and operates Baxter’s Bait Shop, a town landmark.
Every year before Christmas, Baudette hosts an ice-fishing tournament called the Ice Queen that draws thousands of anglers and generates a lot of money for local businesses. First place prize for catching the largest fish is $10,000, but it’s the $20,000 grand prize that consumes everyone. To win the title of Ice Queen, the walleye must beat the Minnesota record of 18.6 pounds.
Hylas is a young Greek slave in the household of Caius Pomponius, a Roman Senator involved in political schemes.
