Check out these Just Read It submissions from Winter 2021 to see what titles TDSB students are reading and to get ideas for what to read next.
Genius Jolene by Sara Cassidy and Charlene Chua
"I really enjoyed this book by Sara Cassidy and Charlene Chua. The reason why I liked it is because it is the first LGBTQ+ book I have ever read and seen. The book was funny and interesting. (+full of onion rings)"
Bendale Junior Public School
B. Bear and Lolly: off to school by A. A. Livingston
"You should read this book because it teaches you a valuable lesson in life. That friends and family are the most important things in life. You should read it too!"
Kingslake Public School
Dog man: grime and punishment by Dav Pilkey
"You should read this book because it shows that you don't have to use violence or hate to solve a problem. Sometimes you could use love. Also it is really funny and you can learn more life lessons."
Heritage Park Public School
The bridge home by Padma Venkatraman
"
TDSB should read it because it's a story of two young girls who have to live off the streets, where they find family and their place in life."
Bennington Heights Elementary School
The phone booth in Mr. Hirota's garden by Heather Smith
"Everyone lost someone the day the big wave came. Makio’s dad was matched by the ocean and so were many others. A phone booth was built as a way to call their loved ones that were taken by the ocean. This is a moving story full of deep emotions and is beautifully written at the same time."
