Welcome to the book lists section of my web page. Whether you're an avid reader or just a "I need to earn my AR points" reader, I hope that you'll find something that interests you.

I'd like to improve this site, but I need your help! Please give me a list of YOUR favorite books. Don't worry if they're not AR books - I have many students who love to read and have already earned their AR requirements.

You can give me your lists in class or e-mail me if that's more convenient. One final note - the official AR list is in the library and in my classroom. Prior to reading a book for AR points, please check one of these lists rather than relying on the information from these book lists. Also, most of the information posted about the books was given to me by students themselves. Therefore, reading level is based on that individual student's perception.

Enjoy!

Mrs. Stluka
