==== == Teens do read! That surprises some folks outside of education, but it is true. Sometimes, though, middle and high school students need to be enticed to read books. One way to do that is to provide summaries to entice teens to pick up a book. This wikispace was designed as a place for educators and librarians of students in grades 6-12 to share book summaries and ideas for sharing these books to motivate these students to read. == = = = To add a Book Assignment: =
