>> We're just off our first successful school-wide summer reading program at
>> the 6-8 grade middle school where I work.
>>
>> This year students could choose either *I am Malala* or *I Will Always
>> Write Back* to read over the summer. In the fall we had many activities
>> surrounding the books across the curriculum culminating with a visit from
>> Caitlin Alifirenka a couple weeks ago.
>>
>>
>>
>> The staff and most of the students expressed interest in continuing the
>> program for Year 2.
>>
>> *I'm looking for some recommendations. *
>>
>> We'd like to tie in an author visit again.
>>
>> We want to continue with informational/nonfiction reads.
>>
>> We want the books to have appeal to our middle school students.
>>
>> Any ideas?
