In this episode of With Honors, Halle, Maddie, and Riley dive into Shelby Van Pelt’s 2020 novel Remarkably Bright Creatures, the summer read that kicked off their journey into Honors English. They share their reactions to the novel’s remarkable characters, discuss how it compares to other bright works from the class, and reflect on the themes that stuck with these creatures. Along the way, they offer pro-tips for next year’s Honors students, like what to expect, how to approach the summer read, and why it’s more than just another assignment.
