The Newton Public Schools' Middle School Summer Reading list is here! Created by the middle school library teachers, this year's list again reflects our belief that summer reading should be fun and that students should be able to read freely, exploring different genres and authors.
The Middle School Summer Reading list was developed by the Newton Public Schools' middle school library teachers and can be found at: www.newtonsummerreading.wikispaces.com.
If your student is entering 9th grade next year, Newton South is reading:
Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi (2009 One School One Book)
In addition, per Brian Baron, South's English Department Head, all incoming freshmen are required to choose a second book from the 2008 Freshman list at: www.newton.k12.ma.us./NSHS/Library/SummerReading/SumRdgArchives.html.
If your student is attending Newton North next year, North also encourages students to read for enjoyment and does not have a required reading list. Good high school books can be found on their library site:

Have a great summer reading!
