Help, High School Literacy Kickoff

**Mike Bailey** · August 27th, 2009

My high school, McClellan Magnet High School, is planning a Kickoff program for our 25 Book Campaign. We are trying to get our students to read anything. Any help you can give us would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

when i was at school i didnt like reading cos i was not to good at it but one day i was in the school library and the lady said to try a book called forever by judy bloom. when i read it i was hooked and wanted to read more of her work. so she was one of my first love affairs with books..this is a good book for the girls. for the boys why not try the old classics like james bond or dr who. they are always a love for my kids. my 12 year old loves the harry potter books too.

Mike: Welcome to the board!

Since you've come to the Stephen King forum asking for help, I guess you're looking for a good King title? Well, any of them are good/great! Just pick one and let'er roll.

Novels that are good for high school are Eyes of the Dragon and The Talisman.

I am looking for feedback about short stories for high school literacy.
