Select a book that you have not read before that is included on the Michael L. Printz award list. Books on this list, according to the Young Adult Library Services Association, are ones that exemplify “literary excellence in young adult literature.” You may select a winner or an honor book from the list. Should you have questions about the nature of the content of the book, you can find an overview of it at commonsensemedia.org. Be sure to discuss your book choice with your parents/guardians.
A Note About Policy: If a parent requests that his/her own child not read a given book, the teacher and/or school administrator should resolve the issue, perhaps by arranging for use of alternative material meeting essentially the same instructional purpose.
If you have questions about summer reading, email English Department Chair, Betsy Woods at woods_b@milfordschools.org.
