_________________ Original request: I’m looking for some good book ideas to use with a brand new high school book group. We’ll be meeting once a month. The students will have read the book ahead of time and we’ll discuss it at the meeting. I’m looking for books that will appeal to both girls and guys in grades 9 and 10. Any suggestions would be most welcome! _________________ Thank you all for your wonderful suggestions! If you run across any others please send them my way. Below is the list of book suggestions that I received for a new high school book group. Elissa Rizzo Young Adult/Teen Librarian Washington Twp.
