As we approach the end of the school year, students and faculty are finding more ways to spend the free time they’ll have once they are finally finished with the school year. Here at DeKalb high school, some students have already decided how they want to spend that time: reading. Below they recommend the books they enjoy, as well as share what they are currently reading.
