1) Try the New York Public Library website. www.nypl.org
2) Look up the suggested books on Amazon.com. When you look up a book, Amazon's marketing gnomes will direct you to books with similar themes or intended audience. You can make a list of these books, then go to your local library and check them out. Remember: you DO NOT have to buy the book. Save your money and buy your mother a nice holiday gift! :)
3) There are a limited number of copies of the book Speak, by Laurie Halse Anderson, that I *may* be able to borrow from the English book room on your behalf. This is a first-come, first-served offer. Email me at jsmith36@schools.nyc.gov and I will give them out until we exhaust our supply of copies.
4) Go ask Ms. O'Hara, the HSES Librarian, for help. Librarians, like, LIVE for this kind of thing. They LOVE books. They love helping teenagers find books. She knows about this project and will help you out!
REMEMBER!
***If you forgot your companion text on Wed. Nov. 26th, you can still bring it to class on Monday, Dec. 1st and receive 75 points! This is waaaaay better than getting a zero, yeah?!
Now, go read already!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Ms. Smith
