I am currently reading The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan. This is the second book in the Percy Jackson series. Percy Jackson is the son of Poseidon and a mortal woman which makes him a half-blood. He is part Greek god. This book so far has him returning to "camp" where he finds monsters are attacking the boundaries and not making camp very safe. It's getting to an exciting part where I'm sure Percy is going go take off on an adventure. Fun!
I am also listening to King Dork by Frank Portman. So far it is about a boy in high school and what his life is like in high school. I don't really think this would be appropriate for middle school students, I would say this book is mature and should be read by someone in high school or even 11th or 12th grade. I just barely started it though, so I'll have to get back to you on how it turns out!

Mrs. Vincent--
Right now I'm reading 19 Minutes by Jodi Picoult. This book would be more appropriate for the high school level as well. It's about a school shooting that takes place during a 19 minute time frame. The book covers the perspectives of all the characters including the shooter. This should be required reading for all educators.
