Invitation to the Classics

[Quiver0f10]

Has anyone used this to help guide you through some lit books with your highschoolers? I need something that is going to hold MY hand as we read through some these books.

Thanks!

I just sold mine--didn't really find it all that helpful--there's just not enough information for each book. It's a nice overview, but not indepth.
Have you thought of Omnibus?
And, don't discount SparkNotes or CliffNotes--I've been surprise how much these have--including little quizzes on content, descriptions of symbols and imagery, and of course summaries of each chapter. I think it's SN that also have questions you can assign for essays (but no answers).

Thanks, thats what I was afraid of ( Not enough info). I do like SN, but wish there were answers to the essays. I forgot @ Omnibus; it might be a good fit for him.
