PINEDALE HIGH SCHOOL BOOK CLUB
The Pinedale High School Book Club had a successful and fun second year. There were 14 members which met once a month in the library during our Silent Sustained Reading period . 
We chose books on member recommendations and had a diverse collection. Probably the favorite book among the group during the 2008-2009 school year was Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and in 2009-2010 we read the sequel, Catching Fire.
One of the best meetings we had during the 2009-2010 school year was when Jay Asher, author of Thirteen Reasons Why, sent a cassette tape of answers to our questions that we had emailed to him about his book.
It has been exciting to read about all the new authors and their books.
Nancy McGuire and the Book Club students thank BOCES so much for donating the books, and the students appreciated the opportunity to receive all these books.
