The only edition of the beloved classic that is authorized by Fitzgerald’s family and from his lifelong publisher.

First published by Scribner in 1925, this quintessential novel of the Jazz Age has been acclaimed by generations of readers. The story of the mysteriously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s.
The High School guides offer many
familiar and popular high school literature options from Progeny Press.
With over 37 titles to choose from, there are numerous books to fill your
students’ reading time! All titles are presented from a Christian worldview, and
each guide is filled with comprehension questions, vocabulary building,
dedicated analysis work, and scriptural connections and application. Pages can
be copied for family and individual classroom use. Many of the classics are
found in this collection and would provide a great opportunity (or incentive)
for your students to read the book and watch the movie! The recommended goal is
for students to read 4-6 guides during the school year. Answers are in the back
and can be easily removed. Each guide includes Notes to the Instructor, mini
author biographies, and background information. These literature selections are
more suited for high school students as they contain difficult topics and
content. Guided reading offers a structured reading experience that develops
analytical skills while enjoying a well-crafted story! ~Rebecca
