2013 Mock Printz reading list

Here is the Mock Printz list of titles for the Bethel School District.  It is a long list and none of the contributors to this list have read all the books so we may actually delete and add titles as we see fit from now until our Mock Printz Workshops in January. But we think that this is a good list with lots of excellent books and we are excited to roll this out to our students. If you check back Friday I will explain how to host a Mock Printz event and how I roll mine out. Stay tuned.

I've only read seven on the list.  So I have to get reading, too. When we divied up our reading list prior to selection most of the books I read were ones we decided to NOT include on the list.  Sigh.  But I still have some on the list that I am tremendously excited about and hope, hope, hope at least one will win!
