Steps to find and purchase books for each course
Step 1: Make sure your course list is correct.
Step 2: Go to MBSDirect (our online Bookstore). Here is the link.
Step 3: Select the classes your son is scheduled for and print out the book list. This is a good way to see the required books for each class, the cost (New/Used) and the ISBN for each book. You can also use our handy booklist app (link above).
Step 4: You can shop online at Amazon or other sites for books. Please make sure the ISBN on the book you are purchasing is the correct one. Several teachers have made edition changes this past year.
Step 5: If you do not find the correct books online please return to MBS to purchase books.

Rising freshmen are asked to prepare written responses to their two summer reading books.
See the prompts here.
Students in the Summer Prep class will read Unbroken and prepare the first written response as part of the Summer Prep course. They must complete the second book and written response independently
