2010 Summer Reading List


Anything marked with an asterisk is a short story and should be downloaded and printed out.  Links to novels online are provided, but to read them online would be tedious, and to print them out would take a lot of paper and ink.  But, just in case you cannot find them in a library or used book store, the link is provided.  Middle School Students, many of the books on your list may be found in the library.  Many of the others (particularly the historical novels) may be found from other students who have read them in the past, or borrowed from the school library.
