[CASL-L] all school read

[LaPlante, Casey]

I believe there is also a young adults’ edition of Just Mercy, which was amazing, but probably too difficult for most underclassmen.  Perhaps this edition is more accessible?

Speaking of Born a Crime, there is a new young readers' edition (middle school-ish), for kids whose reading level isn't quite equal to the original.  I just picked up an ARC at ALA, so I don't know what might be left out or reworded.  And I second the suggestion of Nutmeg nominees, of course.

Perhaps consider a Nutmeg Award book? Could be a 2020 selection once those are made known to librarians in the next few weeks.

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,
