Shepherd Hill Summer Reading 2024
A Few Important Notes on Summer Reading from Shepherd Hill:
- All students are required to read at least one book from this year's summer reading list.
- Books required for AP classes do not count towards summer reading.
- You may choose any book from the list; it does not need to be selected by one of your teachers.
- Some books on this list may have appeared on a previous summer reading list, and some may have been made into TV shows and movies. You're welcome to watch the adaptations of the book (compare and discuss with friends!), but you must also read the book.
- You must choose a book that you have not already used for a summer reading assignment.
- English teachers will assess your knowledge of the book in the fall.
