This year students are reading literature that centers on conflict—particularly conflict that
underscores the effects of war. Our book club texts fall under this thematic umbrella. Some of
the titles may contain more mature content, such as adult language or depictions of violent
scenes. Please sign below to indicate that you give your son/daughter permission to read his or
her preferences listed above. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
