There are plenty of abridged versions of Les Misérables that includes all the parts relevant to the student reader and retains the appropriate level of challenge in leveling up the student's ability to engage with higher level writing.
- mtalantikite 2y agoI think the point the author is making is why choose Les Miserables, even in an abridged format, if the kids would respond better to something more contemporary. There's no shortage of phenomenal writing from the past 50 years. So many of the books in the "canon" they teach kids are so boring that I have a hard time believing anyone isn't lying when they say they sat through something like "In Search of Lost Time".
