Below are some great resources to enjoy some reading this summer, and be ready to tackle 8th grade in the fall! I just read the prequel to Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. If you are into action books, I highly recommend it!
If you enjoyed The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, you may enjoy her other books: Tex, Rumble Fish, and That Was Then, This Is Now.
And if you liked “The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury, then you will definitely want to read some of the many short stories by him in The Illustrated Man. You may also want pick up Bradbury’s classic novel Fahrenheit 451.
Enjoy! 🙂 –Ms. Parrott
