Revisiting old(ish) favourites
Since Valeria already knows English as well or better than most swedish youths leaving high school and suffers from boredom and embarrassment (over her class mates) at classes she's going to take a series of tests to prove this and thus be finished with her high school English.
One thing she's going to do is to read two novels from a list and then both write a review and discuss them with a teacher. Since she didn't know much about the books in question what I have read and liked of course influenced her. So now one of my high school favourites "Rumble Fish" (my absolute favourite S.E. Hinton novel was "That was then, this is now" I think) and a more recent favourite, Nick Hornby's "Fever Pitch" are on their way to us.
I think that she will like both of them.
