Independent Book Selections, Round 1

More on this in class soon...but, you will be choosing a British novel for your first independent book selection. For the record, here are your options. You will need a copy of the book in your hot little hands by October 4, so consider this plenty of advance notice.

For each class, no more than two people will be allowed to choose the same novel. You will sign up starting September 27. Take this opportunity to do some research on Amazon or with the readers in your life. Ask some of your teachers for recommendations; they may have a favorite in this list that you'd enjoy, too.
