I. Each eighth-grader is required to read the two books below. These novels will be quizzed the first week of school (no written report required). Additionally, we will discuss these texts in class; those discussions will form the basis of our first tests and writing assignments of the year. While reading, jot down character and place names, the key events in each chapter, and, if you own the book, underline passages that you think are essential to character and thematic development.
Robert Lipsyte The Contender
Agatha Christie And Then There Were None
II. All School Read for 2024-25: Each boy in grades seven through twelve is required to read James Clear's Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones.
