Proxy

London, A. (2013). Proxy. New York, New York: Speak. Currently my students are reading Proxy by Alex London. Much like the dystopian society that many other books seek, this is the first that I have read that has a "proxy," someone of the lower class who pays the debts of their patron, someone of the elite class. Many of my students have finished the book and are onto book two, Guardian, which makes not only myself please that many students are reading more outside of class, so is my school principal. TweenReads was a few weeks ago and I was not able to attend due to prior arrangements with my son's Cub Scout activities. I'm not going to lie. I was a little bit bummed I did not get to attend TweenReads. Alex London was there and I did not get a chance to meet him or get my book signed. Maybe another day. 

Proxy is on the Lone Star list this year for my students. The Book Club's goal is to read adn complete AR test on at least 12 of the books by the end of the school year. The more the better. The goal is to get my kids to reach our and read more for pleasure. So far we are off to a good start.
