Home Page: Reading = knowledge! Knowledge = power! Empower yourself with books!

Reading can open doors to things you never imagined possible!  I challenge you to find a good book and change your life.  I've read many books, magazines, and Internet sites to find out more about my passions so that I can take advantage of all life has to offer, and I want you to do the same!
 
 Reading made all of these adventures possible!  The first picture shows me rock climbing in Gyron, Switzerland.  The next picture shows moutain biking in Crested Butte, Colorado, and the last picture shows ice climbing at Smuggler's Notch, Vermont.  I had to read in order to go on all of these adventures.  Reading helped me to research each place, improve my skills in each sport, and ensure that I was prepared for each adventure with the proper gear and equipment.  Open a book and see what adventures you can take!
 
Are you having trouble finding a good book?  Sometimes this task can seem overwhelming, but there are so many good books out there for kids.  I have developed a list of book suggestions broken down by genre to help my students find a good book.  The sections include Adventure, Comedy, Science Fiction, and Realistic/Historical Fiction.  Each section has its own table complete with the reading level of the book, a picture of the book cover, a summary, and a website link to the author's website.
