Glad you are enjoying "Small Acts..."! The sequel is "All My Noble Dreams and Then What Happens". I liked that one, too, but am holding off on E & E reading that until we do Core 300.
Daisy has asked for the sequel, and thanks for your recommendation (just went and ordered it for her).
Wondering if it's the content/issues that is making you hold it off for Core 300 - more mature students- or do the themes lend themselves to Core 300?
