A List of Must Reads for Seventh Grade!Mrs. IbbitsonEnglish 7 - Room 28

Seventh grade is a great time to read and enjoy the following books. Heres a list of books that have been read by the students in room 28; they come highly recommended! Some are Mrs. Is personal favorites (those are marked with an asterisk *). Books marked with two asterisks ** are for high-level readers who desire the challenge! Many of the books on this list can be found in room 28, in the Oak Media Center (search by using the first three letters of the authors last name), in the public library, or you can even get them on Amazon used for a very good price! If your public library has a used bookstore, you may find some of these titles in there for as little as 10 cents! Some classics can be downloaded from the internet for free. Happy reading! (Oh, and by the way, if theres a book you think should definitely be added to this list, let Mrs. I. know.)
