October Book-of-the-Month    

Book-of-the-Month:  Find another novel, but in a different genre, and read it by October 25.   For example, if you read a fantasy book in September, you could read an adventure or historical fiction or other genre this month

Grading for Oct. Book of the Month.doc

Be prepared to tell about what happened, where it happened, and who it happened to from the point of view of one of the main characters in the book.  What are that character's problems?  Are the problems solved?  How?   This time we'll try to avoid spoilers (about how the book ends).
For extra credit, come on the assessment day dressed as that character.
