Black-Eyed Susan Books

 

Introduction: 

 

In order to promote literacy, each student will be reading a self-selected novel.  A reader becomes more interested in the book when it is about a topic of personal interest and when he/she has ownership in selecting the book; therefore, you may choose your own novel as long as it is on the Black-Eyed Susan list.  Before selecting your novel, you must understand what the Black-Eyed Susan list is and know descriptions about the novels you may choose from.
