Borel Middle School Recommended Reading List

2008

Some of these books will add to your understanding of the subjects you will encounter in middle school. Other books are just great reading. [If you can offer evidence of having read one of these—or other books this summer—there will be a reward the first week of school. The Summer Reading Program at the San Mateo Public Library also counts.] Enjoy!
