[CASL-L] all school read

[Cathy Andronik]

 A book that spread like wildfire around my former school thanks to a push by a teacher and me  was Breakthrough by Brian Andraka.  He's the young man who as a teenager discovered an inexpensive and effective test for pancreatic cancer--in his home kitchen "lab."  There's also quite a bit about how, as a gay teen and a science nerd, he was bullied.  He spoke at AASL a few years back and was amazing.
I also loved Spare Parts by Joshua Davis, the true story of a robotics club made up of undocumented and underestimated teens from a poor high school in Arizona that finds itself competing against teams from such places as MIT.  Read the book, do not watch the movie first.  The movie makes some significant character changes.  Very timely.

Please excuse the cross posting.

My school is looking to change the summer reading this year to an all school read. They would like it to be a topic that all classes, math, English, Science, Social Studies, World Language and Theology can all discuss on some level. It can be fiction or non-fiction.

I welcome any and all suggestions.

Thanks,
