Hello Everyone!
Summer is almost coming to an end. I am excited to start my in-person seventh grade. As a sixth-grader, I read lots of interesting and diverse books. So I would like to share my book lists with kids going into middle school! I hope you will find my reading list helpful. It includes books written by 58 famous authors.
I am currently reading the book Black Boy Joy which is a collection of stories written by 17 Black authors and I am looking forward to getting my copy of two new books that are coming in September. The books are Born Behind Bars by Padma Venkatraman and How to Find What You’re Looking For by Veera Hiranandani.
Here is the list of books for students going back to school.
