![]() ![]() ![]() Preference to #ownvoices and marginalized authors.Īzar on Fire by Olivia Abtahi – Fourteen-year-old Azar Rossi’s first year of high school has mostly been silent, and intentionally so. I also generally picked more recent materials. ![]() I created these lists through an alchemy involving age of the protagonists, themes, genre, tone, complexity, reader skill/comfortability level, events and topics a student will likely encounter in their studies during the school year, and books they are unlikely to read for school. The point of summer reading should be to foster a love of reading, not force every kid into the same small box. That way they can find something that meets them where they are or allows them to stretch at their own pace. I always suggest providing students and teens a list of material to choose from rather than requiring all of them to read one thing. In particular, this list is aimed at current and rising ninth graders.Įveryone is welcome to use these lists either as a whole (please credit me and let me know) or as inspiration. These lists are for parents, educators, library workers, and teen readers. As a high school librarian, offering reading recommendations for students is one of my favorite parts of my job. ![]()
