A wide variety of suggestions were available in the school libraries, spanning different time periods and genres. Once each reader had finished their book of choice, they wrote a short book review, which entered them into a raffle for a change to win a gift card. Students and staff alike enjoyed discovering the rich selection of work by the authors.
