Bohally Intermediate School has a challenge for Year 8 students to read 40 books from fourteen different genres. The school lets you count up to 225 pages as a single book, 226–450 pages as two books and 451–675 pages as three books, I chose to count each book as one, but I have added columns to my summary table to show both the actual number of books and the Bohally book count.
There was an official form to fill in for this challenge and you can find mine here.
I wrote a brief review of each book and you can find those using the site navigation.
