Summer Reading 2024

Summer Reading 2024


Please read this information carefully. It will answer all the key questions about Summer Reading.

This summer, all US students will be reading two books: 

  • Accountable, by Dashka Slater, and
  • Advocate, a graphic novel by Eddie Ahn

8th Graders Returning to Catlin Gabel for 9th Grade
Current Catlin Gabel Middle School students returning for 9th grade received an opportunity to claim a free copy of both boooks in a Middle School class with Dan Rinehart in early June.  If you were absent, please read below, and follow the instructions.

New to Catlin Gabel Upper School? 
You may pick up copies of these books in the Toad Hall (the Catlin Gabel administration building) from June 20th through the end of August during regular business hours.  Please ask for the books at the Toad Hall front desk, and you'll be able to claim your copies to read. We've included discussion questions for you to think about as you read.  (No need to answer the questions in writing--they're ideas to consider as you read.)

Advocate, by Eddie Ahn

The author of this wonderful graphic novel visited our campus in Spring of 2024.  Please enjoy reading this book over the summer. 

(This graphic novel is not available as an ebook through your local public library.)

Readers' Guides

    

The following linked guides provide some great questions to consider when reading the books. These are also wonderful resources for C&C groups to use when discussing Accountable by Dashka Slater in early October, 2024.
