All rising high school students must read a total of three (3) books over the summer.  Each high school English teacher has assigned ONE specific book for your class, and will expect you to be able to discuss and/or write about that book when school starts.  After that, each student's TWO (2) additional books are completely up to the student.  Free-choice books may be chosen from among the lists in this website, or any other fiction, non-fiction, poetry, or graphic novel that is reasonable for your age and reading level.
