Required Summer Reading 2011 for Grades 6-12
“Every book has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived it and dreamed it…Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens.”
From The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
