Recommended Reading List – High School

You might notice that my summer reading lists are thin on the classics side, and favor more contemporary books. Here is my reasoning: Summer reading lists should help cultivate a love of reading – we want students to look forward to cracking open a good book. There will be plenty of opportunities to read and analyze classics when school is in. Let’s use the summer to pour over some the contemporary classics that have been written in the last century.

Recommended Summer Reading List – Grades 6-8

by Deej Sharp 

Next week, I’ll have my high school list. Which I am insanely excited about.

1. The Giver by Louis Lowry – Jonas’ world is perfect. Everything is under control. There is no war or fear or pain. There are no choices. Every person is assigned a role in the Community. When Jonas turns twelve, he is singled out to receive special training from The Giver. The Giver alone holds the memories of the true pain and pleasure of life. Now, it is time for Jonas to receive the truth. There is no turning back.
