good day src-ers, welcome to our new booklist! every book from this list that you read and summarize in the main house, your house will gain an additional 200 points. summaries can be short or long, but should generally provide such an description so that someone who has not read the book can gain an accurate perspective of the book. make sure to add a spoiler warning to your comment! the books below on the age range of 8-17, but either way, please look at the common sense media rating before reading the book! especially check books that have a ^ next to them (explanation below). you can read book from any genre. if you started one of these books before camp started and have finished during camp, you can still write a summary to gain 50 points. however, at least a considerable amount of the book must be read during camp for it to count. good luck!
