Required Reading
(incomplete)
This list of books is the list of required reading for our sixth grade level. Many of these books, even though classics) can not be found at our library. We will be needing to buy most of our books as the local library (even through exchange) does not offer many books that we need. Some we already have, some we do not. I have linked to the Wish List at Amazon for quick reference. You are welcome to give us a gift if you would like.
