I love it when my former students email me about their summer reading:
I have just gotten my book yesterday and i have already finished one. I am almost done the second book. I have finished reading "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian". That book was very good and funny. Now I'm reading "Kindred", which is very captivating and interesting. I just can not put the book down.
Summer Bridge starts August 7th, but I don't go back officially until the 24th. Kids start back up on the 31st.

I read Kindred myself this summer - great book. I was a little hesitant to start it since it was the only Octavia Butler book I hadn't read - I makes me sad to think I will never read an Octavia Butler book for the first time again. I was also a little worried that it is her most read book (I think) and often I'm disappointed by popularity.
Despite those misgivings, I loved it. I don't think it's my favorite - I'm too much of a sci-fi type, so I think Lilith's Brood is the top of my list.
It's odd to think that the books I picked out for fun in my childhood have made it into the classroom (Fahrenheit 451 for example). I wouldn't have minded reading something from the 20th century in high school, although I enjoyed most of what we read and I've even re-read some.
"The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" is this a name of a book or something else?? If it's a book let me know what it is about.
"he Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian" is a novel for young adults written by Sherman Alexie. :)
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian is a fantastic book. Not surprisingly, since it's pretty hard to go wrong with anything by Sherman Alexie.
Glad to hear that at least one of your students has discovered Alexie!
Wow great information thanks for posting............ very nice blog...........

When a student has such enthusiasm in the summer it makes your job so much better to go back to in the fall.
