There is a bit of a dystopian novel you may enjoy called EARTH ABIDES.

One of my favorites. A bit dated now, but absolutely fascinating. Congrats for using it for home schooling - great choice to provoke thought.

It is dated...
But so is Jane Eyre snd Little House on the Prarie.

Teaching how people thought and acted in history is important.

I reread it recently. It holds.

Surprisingly reread the foundation trilogy recently and it didn’t hold for me.
