February Book Clubs
Today the students in the grades 9/10 book club meet to celebrate the reading of the suspenseful dystopian novel, The Maze Runner. Tomorrow, the senior students will gather for cake and a final discussion of the unusual The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time. It's been a great month for reading!

The students in Senior Book Club will be exploring a classic gem: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Believe me, this novel will stay with you your whole life (you might even consider naming your first child Scout).
Both books are now available in the library.

The Fault in Our Stars
Many students at HPSS have found a great deal to love about John Green's latest novel, The Fault in Our Stars, a poignant and gripping story of two teens struggling with terminal illnesses. One of our readers shares this review:
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green is a perfectly written novel. As a reader, you are drawn to the charismatic characters but appalled by the events that take place. The best way to describe it is like a car accident, terrible to look at but impossible to put down. With the language in the book being so drastically different on each page and the true depth of the characters, the story is, simply put, beautiful and guaranteed to make the reader laugh and cry.
I absolutely agree! In fact, all of Green's novels have a way of working themselves into the reader's heart. Looking for Alaska; Will Grayson, Will Grayson; An Abundance of Katherines; and Papertowns are all available from our library.
