Has It Got Star Power?
The Texas Lone Star Reading List is a big deal in my part of town. The Lone Star list is a recreational reading list for students in 6th through 8th grades, announced at the end of each year. Although we won’t know what is officially on the list until November, we can take a look at all the nominated titles so far and make our best guess of what might garner a Star. What books from the past year do you think have Star Power?
