One School, One Book. - Refugee by Alan Gratz

Parents- on January 9th we will begin reading the book, Refugee by Alan Gratz, as part of the program One School, One Book.  Each student, teacher and staff member will read the book over several weeks and in April we will welcome author Alan Gratz here to Bryson Middle School as a visiting author.  We encourage you to go ahead and purchase a copy of the book for your student. We have provided several links below where you can purchase a copy. We will have copies for each student to use here at school, however, the benefit of purchasing a copy for your child is that have their own copy to read, should they get behind/or miss class and also they can have their copy autographed by the author when he visits in April.

Refugee by Alan Gratz is available for purchase  online from the following merchants:

Amazon        Barnes & Noble       Scholastic Books, Inc.
