Summer Reading Program 2012

Here's the annotated list of books that are offered for our Summer Reading Program 2012. Most titles have a hotlink to Powell's Books, Multnomah County Library, and Amazon Kindle. If reviews are available from NoveList, a link has been created to it. If you are viewing this from home, NoveList will require a user name (oregon) and a password (oregon). Please read reviews carefully so that you may be confident that ALL THREE of your choices are books that you would like to read!

The Alchemyst

The Alchemyst
Michael Scott
While working at pleasant but mundane summer jobs in San Francisco, fifteen-year-old twins, Sophie and Josh, suddenly find themselves caught up in the deadly, centuries-old struggle between rival alchemists, Nicholas Flamel and John Dee, over the possession of an ancient and powerful book holding the secret formulas for alchemy and everlasting life. (NoveList) (Multnomah County Library)

  • 3. Students will make their Summer Reading Program selections by filling out an online form that will be emailed to them. Instructions will accompany the form.
  • 4. Before the end of the school year students will be sent an email with the title of the ONE book that they need to read.
