=Welcome to the 2nd Year of Book Boot Camp!=

What is it?
The Book Boot Camp is a combination of a book club and middle grade literature class. From August 2014 to May 2015 (with a December hiatus) participants will explore nine different book genres, one per month. We will read at least two books from a preselected genre list. Discussions will be held on Twitter using the hashtag #bookbootcamp on the last Monday of the month. During our chats, we will share core titles in that genre for middle school, new titles, resources for the genre and ideas for promoting those titles.
