This website has many of my favorite reads, as well as suggestions from other teachers as well!
You will also find directions to summer reading. Check for definitions to windows, mirrors, and sliding glass doors on that page as well.
You will find books organized by the greats, genre, as well as difficulty.
This website is more than the average teacher website about books. This website has been specially cultivated over eons of thoughts about what the perfect books are to place on this website. This is not just to help choose a "good book" it is to help choose a book that takes you on a journey of meaning.
