So the poll closed and it looks like 7th grade will be reading Mystery Books for our first round of Book Clubs.  Do you enjoy reading mystery books?  What is your favorite mystery book that you have read?

8th graders:  I have started a new poll for you to use.  Please respond to it within a few days so we can get your book clubs started as well.

7th graders:  PLEASE DON'T RESPOND TO THE POLL.  IT IS FOR 8TH GRADE ONLY!!!!
