Melody is not like most people. She cannot walk or talk, but she has a photographic memory; she can remember every detail of everything she has ever experienced. She is smarter than most of the adults who try to diagnose her and smarter than her classmates in her integrated classroom - the very same classmates who dismiss her because she cannot communicate with them. But Melody refuses to be defined by cerebral palsy. And she's determined to let everyone know it - somehow. For students, this engrossing novel explores the power of language and communication.

This coming-of-age novel takes place in 1987 in El Paso Texas. The publisher’s synopsis: “Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe is a lyrical novel about family and friendship from critically acclaimed author Benjamin Alire Sáenz. Aristotle is an angry teen with a brother in prison. Dante is a know-it-all who has an unusual way of looking at the world. When the two meet at the swimming pool, they seem to have nothing in common. But as the loners start spending time together, they discover that they share a special friendship — the kind that changes lives and lasts a lifetime. And it is through this friendship that Ari and Dante will learn the most important truths about themselves and the kind of people they want to be.” Since its publication in 2012, the novel has earned the Pura Belpre Award, the Printz Honor, the Stonewall Award, and the Lambda Literary Award, and is on Time’s list of 100 Best YA Books of All Time.

B.Gather by Kenneth Cadow Candlewick ISBN: 9781536234183
From Commonsensemedia.org: Rural Vermont 10th grader Ian is dealing with a lot as the big hairy dog he names GATHER wanders into his life on what's left of the farm that's been in his family for generations. Ian's father, irresponsible in the best of times, has deserted the family. His beloved grandfather, who shares his love of the land with Ian, has recently died; his grandmother has moved out of state for her health. This leaves Ian and his now-single mom devastated, and following a work injury she falls into drug use. They have no money, the roof leaks, the phone's cut off, the tires are bald, and they're living on soup from the food bank. Ian dreams of getting the ruined farm back to its former glory, but he's barely keeping it together day to day. The teen's determination to keep them together serves as a moral compass as forces beyond his control threaten to take away the land and heritage he loves -- and also brings people together to protect them both. Which is good, because they need it.

Slouching Towards Bethlehem by Joan Didion
ISBN: 978-0374531386
Joan Didion is considered to be the quintessential chronicler of California, documenting the beauty and chaos of the state—and often focusing on Southern California. Slouching Towards Bethlehem is a collection of some of her best essays about the state in the 1960s. She was also in the forefront of the “New Journalism” literary movement. The New Journalists infused reportage with their personal experiences in order to reach a greater truth. As Didion said, “I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at, what I see, and what it means.”
You can also watch the Netflix documentary about Didion, The Center Will Not Hold.

Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo
ISBN: 978-0802160935
To fulfill his mother’s dying wish, Juan Preciado travels to Comala to find Pedro Páramo, the father he never knew. What he finds is a ghost town—literally and figuratively. Rulfo tells Juan’s and Pedro’s stories in a non-linear fashion, jumping between the past and present. Pedro Páramo is considered one of the greatest works in Latin-American literature, a seminal piece of magical realism, and a source of inspiration for the most acclaimed Latin-American authors of the 20th and 21st centuries. A filmed adaptation will premiere on Netflix later this year.

Arthur Dent finds his house being demolished so a new road can be built. Before that can happen, the Vogons demolish Earth to make way for a hyperspace freeway. Arthur is saved by a friendly space alien—and so begins Arthur’s adventures in the galaxy. Considered one of the best and funniest science fiction books since its publication in 1979, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is also a biting satire of our world.

Students must read one of the following.
Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed ISBN: 978-0307476074
At twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother’s death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life. With no experience or training, driven only by blind will, she would hike more than a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State—and she would do it alone.
Told with suspense and style, sparkling with warmth and humor, Wild powerfully captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her.
Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer ISBN: 978-0385486804
Immediately after graduating from college in 1991, McCandless had roamed through the West and Southwest on a vision quest like those made by his heroes Jack London and John Muir. In the Mojave Desert he abandoned his car, stripped it of its license plates, and burned all of his cash. He would give himself a new name, Alexander Supertramp, and, unencumbered by money and belongings, he would be free to wallow in the raw, unfiltered experiences that nature presented. Craving a blank spot on the map, McCandless simply threw the maps away. Leaving behind his desperate parents and sister, he vanished into the wild.
Krakauer brings McCandless's uncompromising pilgrimage out of the shadows, and the peril, adversity, and renunciation sought by this enigmatic young man are illuminated with a rare understanding—and not an ounce of sentimentality. Into the Wild is a tour de force. The power and luminosity of Jon Krakauer's storytelling blaze through every page.
