Q
How do I sign up for my summer reading book?
A
Follow these 3 simple steps:
1.
Check out the GHS Summer Reading Bookshelf on Goodreads and choose a text:
Browse through all the books and select one that interests you. If you aren’t sure which book you’d like
to read, look for your favorite teachers in the “recommender” column. You might like a book that one
of your favorite teachers has recommended.
