GRADES 9, 10 & 11 BOOK CLUB

Each session we present several books to vote on for future meetings. As only one gets chosen, we list the remainders here so that bookclub members who liked a title that did not win have a reference list.

​

P.S. This is also a great list for birthday presents within the age group.
