 * Cutter Morning Star High School**

Jr. High is starting out with The House of Dark Shadows by Robert Liparulo. Great adventure survival and the first in a series, so it may inspire them to read the others. Others on the list for the Jr. High include: Breaking Point by Alex Flinn The Trap by John Smelcer Compound by S.A. Bodeen

Senior High is beginning with The Warrior Heir by Cinda Williams Chima, and we are planning a Skype Q & A with the author in October during Teen Read Week! Others on the list for Senior High include: If I Stay by Gayle Forman Impossible and/or Rules of Survival by Nancy Werlin Beastly by Alex Flinn The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart

Other titles I'm considering include Love is Hell (collection of short stories), Sold by Patricia McCormick, Devil's Kiss by Sarwat Chadda, What Happened to Cass McBride by Gail Giles, and Peeps by Scott Westerfeld. Not sure if I'll have time to work any of these in or not. - Jana Dixon, LMS
