The new list has arrived

 I love that our readers barely finish the flurry of MCBA activities and voting and then clamor for the new list! It has arrived and it looks terrific!

This year's list contains five graphic novels, the most ever, and a range of genres. The list features books that range from a third grade to seventh grade reading level to accommodate a range of learners.

 It features rich stories, some that tackle tough topics. The list offers stories with both mirrors and windows, and perhaps sliding glass doors. Every book on the list may not be right for you, but this voluntary program is all about choice. Choose the books you want to read! And if you ever have questions, want to talk about the stories, or process what you read, know that you have a whole squad of teachers who are reading these stories too and we are here for you.

This year MCBA is also launching a new logo! What do you think?
