📚☀️ Time for another Carroll ISD Summer Reading Challenge recommendation!
This time, Carroll ISD Secondary Teacher of the Year Erin Burkamp, AP Capstone teacher at Carroll Senior High School, recommends All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr.
"One of my favorite books I’ve ever read and taught is the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. It is just an achingly beautiful novel set during WWII that chronicles the story of Marie-Laure, a blind French girl, and Werner, a German orphan basically forced into fighting for the Third Reich, as they both desperately try to survive World War II separately, until their worlds unexpectedly collide. It’s a sad-but-gorgeous tale of people just trying to be good to each other, despite experiencing the unspeakable atrocities of war. 'Light' is treated in so many complex and beautiful ways in this novel, both literally and figuratively. You will think about Marie-Laure and Werner long after you finish this book."
