Well, it's not quite the end of summer yet, but I'm sure you're all thinking about the new school year. Have you finished your summer reading yet? If you need information about summer reading, visit the CWA MS Library website for assignment guidelines and other important information.
Have you read any good books lately? During July, I took some time to read a few fantasy and science fiction books that aren't written for Middle School students (I know, how shocking!). If you have any adult-type people in your life who enjoy sci-fi and fantasy, you could tell them about my favorites this summer, which include The Magicians: a novel by Lev Grossman. It's sort of a grown-up Harry Potter. I also enjoyed Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor, set in a very scary future Africa. Finally, I recommend an historical fiction book called, The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff.
This week I'll be getting back to some young adult fiction and would love a few recommendations from you. If you've read some great stuff this summer, comment to this post and let us know!
I'm looking forward to seeing all of you at orientations, picnics and camp in just a few weeks!
