Most of the suggested books are in Western's library and all are in the Baltimore County library system. Local bookstores are aware of Western's choices and can order books quickly if they are sold out. As you read these great books for pleasure, you may want to record in a journal some information on characters, setting, conflicts and themes. In September your new English teacher will explain the reading assessments to you. There are plenty of choices, so choose something that appeals to you. Enjoy!!!
