    CHOOSING A BOOK:  Below are possible titles for you to choose from. Don’t forget to see the different genre choices on your Summer Assignment.  Honors Students are strongly encouraged to use the College Board 100 Books for the College-Bound

    Some of these are contemporary titles, so some may deal with subject matter that is mature.  Before selecting a title for approval, take time to do some background research – the web is full of reviews and descriptions that can help you decide if the book is appropriate for you.  Also, there are warnings about possible offensive language or subject matter that might help in your decision. Discuss your choice with your parents if you are concerned about subject matter.
