📦 Shipping Notice for Print Books

To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical. Orders that exceed our print partner's U.S. shipping weight limit may be fulfilled from a U.K. facility, resulting in significantly higher shipping charges. If you're purchasing several print books, placing two or more smaller orders will often reduce your shipping costs.

Zeal for Truth — Hans knows the weight of every letter in the type case before he can read the words they form — six months as Master Fust's devil in the print shop, his fingers moving through compartments without thought, building words backward in his composing stick. When he discovers that a page has been altered after proof — a change so small that only a compositor who had set the original type would notice — he must decide what a printer's apprentice owes to truth.

Each packet includes:

  • Original classical short story (complete text)
  • Notes on historical setting and literary tradition
  • Narration prompts (oral and written)
  • Comprehension questions — literal and inferential
  • Vocabulary exercises
  • Character Constellation graphic organizer
  • Theme & Meaning questions
  • Socratic discussion questions
  • Literary Analysis (symbolism, turning point, motif, foreshadowing, narrative restraint, structure)
  • Copywork and memory work
  • Optional writing prompts (reflective, explanatory, creative, analytical)
  • Complete parent answer key
  • Standards alignment

Written for Grade 6. Suitable for Grades 5–7 with guidance. This packet is available as a digital download only.
