  • Summer Reading 2019 Copy
    Summer Reading 2019 as recommended by The School Library The English Department The Department of Modern Foreign Languages St. George’s Students and Teachers Dear St. George’s Community, In our quest to nurture a culture of reading in our school, we have produced another wonderful list of books for you to enjoy this summer. Whether you are reading for work or pleasure, you will be able to do so in a range of languages, selecting from books recommended by our language faculties for all age groups. Titles in blue have recently been added to the school library and may be signed out during the academic year. The Magic of Reading Each story is a journey not only for the characters, but also for you. Books teach you compassion. They help you work on your capacity to connect to another person and invest yourself in their story. You will learn to be more observant, imaginative and creative. Reading can widen your mind’s horizons to an incredible extent and fully transform your view of the world. Books guide you towards becoming a dreamer and teach you that you are capable of doing anything you put your mind to, no matter how hard it may seem. The most important books in your life will be the ones that are mirrors of your life. You will see your own reflection in the pages and, as you read, you will start to understand yourself on a deeper level. Another part of you, that you have always been searching for, will be discovered. The words written by a complete stranger will help you connect with the person you have to know the best - yourself.

  • Educator Discussion Guide Awkward by Svetlana Chmakova
    Educator Discussion Guide Awkward By Svetlana Chmakova Louisiana Young Readers’ Choice Nominee 2018 Grade 6-8 Submitted by Kaitlyn Westerhaus School of Library and Information Science, LSU, Baton Rouge ABOUT THE BOOK Penelope “Peppi” Torres is new in town and struggling to navigate the social scene at her new middle school. On her first day, she caves to peer pressure and is mean to Jaime, an unpopular boy who had been kind to her. A few weeks later, Peppi is in the art club, while Jamie is in their enemy group—the science club. As times goes on, Peppi continues to feel bad about how she treated Jamie, but she finds it more and more difficult to apologize to him. The book contains themes of friendship, relationships, bullying, peer pressure, mistakes and consequences, and getting along with people who are different from you. The story is thoroughly enjoyable, and the writing has far more depth than the one would think based solely on the cute, quirky style of the artwork. Awkward is a compelling, relatable story that belongs in all middle school libraries. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Svetlana Chmakova (1979- ) is a Russian-born Canadian comic artist. Her best-known work is the Dramacon series of original English-language manga. She received an Eisner Award nomination for Dramacon in 2007. She published her own manga online before having various original and adapted titles published by Yen Press and Tokyopop, among others. Author website: https://svetlania.com/ Accessed 23 June 2017.
