This summer you will be required to read 2 books. The first book is called the Travelers Gift.

This is a book about a business man who gets fired from his job and learns 7 lessons from 7

different people in history. The second book will be up to you to decide. Below I have posted

some ideas of some books that would be good possibilities.
