The choice book program is our way of encouraging you to read something enjoyable over the summer. It is one of three components of our FWCD summer reading program. In September, you will meet for a book discussion with other people in our Upper School community who have read the same book.
Yes! Discussion groups will be made up of people who have read the same book (off this list).
Every book has been chosen by a FWCD student or faculty member who will then host the book discussion in September.
Like the Moncrief Library, this reading list serves the 9-12 grade student population. Books on the list that have mature content (such as language and/or themes) are limited to 11-12 graders. Books for younger readers are limited to 9-10 graders.
After looking through all of the options, click on the "Click here to choose your book" button on the main page to choose your book.
Students and faculty are responsible for getting copies of their own choice books. You are welcome to borrow a copy from the Moncrief Library if it is available, borrow from the public library, or purchase from a bookstore. You are also welcome to read in your preferred format - print or digital. If you choose a digital format, please come prepared with your digital copy of the book during discussion.
