The following books are not endorsed by LASA but they have often been mentioned in trainings, meetings, professional development, and parent talks. They are linked here in one spot to make it easier for viewing and shopping at Austin's local book store, Book People.
NEW TO LASA SUMMER Book Club
This will be the third year that LASA has hosted a Summer Book Club for incoming students: we'll be reading Legendborn by Tracy Deonn.. This book club is completely optional but we hope you'll decide to join us in reading this award-winning Arthurian legend that features a remarkable main character. Then come to one of our on-campus meetings where we'll chat about the book, meet other new students (plus some awesome returning students who will be Literary Leaders), and finish up with popsicles. It's a fun way to get used to the campus and meet some new friends! Parents: if you'd like to stay on campus, we will have current LASA parents hosting an informal meet & greet at the same time. Sign up to attend one of the 3 book club sessions this summer.
Find the book at Book People!
School Wide Book Club
Join LASA students, staff and parents for the campus-wide Spring Book Club! We're reading Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree. Then join us in the Raptor Library before school on Thursday March 28th for breakfast and a discussion of why orc coffee shops are the best!
