It's hard to believe that today is the day!

The Hunger Games movie is finally happening! As you know, to celebrate the film's release the Teen advisory Group helped me host a Hunger Games party last Friday. We had our own 'Reaping' (actually just a drawing to see what district you were in/a raffle for a prize), feasted on lots of bread and other snacks, made Mockingjay tshirts, practiced our camouflage painting and archery skills, and then we had our own non-violent Hunger Games obstacle course. We also watched trailers and listened to music from the movie's soundtrack. It was a great afternoon, thanks to everyone who came out for it!

Also, I saw the movie last night at midnight and it was SO GOOD. Let me know what you think once you've seen it!

DFTBA,
Sti

I created these lists through an alchemy involving age of the protagonists, themes, genre, tone, complexity, reader skill/comfortability level, events and topics a student will likely encounter in their studies during the school year, and books they are unlikely to read for school. I also tried to pick materials that published in the last few years or will be published by June 2021. Preference to #ownvoices and marginalized authors. Below you'll find links to their lists broken up by grade level. Whether you know an avid reader who always...
