And the Winner is…..
Hello Universe
Hello Universe, written by Erin Entrada Kelly. Filipino folklore and real life converge at the bottom of a well. Even while following signs and portents, the characters are the definition of creative agency. Masterfully told through shifting points of view, this modern quest tale shimmers with humor and authentic emotion.
A Long Way Down written by: Jason Reynolds.
Terse, sharp verse depicts a desperate teenager seeking to avenge the shooting death of his brother. Gun tucked into his waistband, he is shocked by the appearance of childhood friends and relatives on a chilling sixty-second elevator ride. Visceral language and raw emotion result in a powerful novel of grief and vengeance.
Crown- An Ode to the Fresh Cut written by: Derrick Barnes.
A boy walks into a barbershop; a prince walks out. Through lyrical free verse, Derrick Barnes’joyous paean celebrates the universal, transformative, confidence-building experience of a great haircut.
Piecing Me Together written by: Renee Watson

All Middle School books go out for 3 weeks. Students are welcome to check out a book at a time convenient to them. If a student has a book out and would like to renew it, please feel free to stop by the Media Center to quickly do so whenever possible- (lunch, study hall, between classes, etc).
If a student returns a book late, they are charged a .05 cent fine for each late day. If you have any questions about your child’s account, please do not hesitate to contact me (Mrs. Mieskoski) at 440-740-4431. I will do my best to keep fines at a minimum by informing students and homeroom teachers on a weekly basis with printed overdue notices.
