I Capture the Castle

Anne of the Island by Lucy Maude Montgomery
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

I found this book hard to relate to. I didn't recognize any of the references in the book and I found the characters to be lacking emotionally at times. I thought the plot and message were relatable; it was just the composition that made it a hard read.

Given that the book is hard to follow for today's youth, what can teachers do to make this book an interesting read both in and out of the classroom?
