The goal of our "One School, One Book" initiative is to captivate staff, students, and families in an opportunity to read, discuss and engage around the same text to build background knowledge, promote character, and the importance of literacy.
Mapleton Middle School will be giving each student and teacher a book that they can read and enjoy together as a reading community. Students are also encouraged to share the book with their families as well.

But the real challenge is the amnesia. Chase has to try to make sense of his life when all thirteen years of it have been erased. What kind of person was he?
