Not sure which book to read first??
Check out these recommendations from West students...
House of the Scorpion
"Lots of action, never a dull moment. I read
it cover to cover in one sitting. A real page turner. I couldn't put it
down."
Yossel
"Not for the lighthearted, but still
a good book. This graphic novel keeps you tied in with great visuals so
you feel like you are in the story."
To vote in the statewide program, you need to read or listen to at least
4 books from the list.
A voting party will be held toward the end of February for students
eligible to vote. If you are interested in
participating, please see Miss Rehn in the
library. In
