Dear Pupils and Parents,
!
With summer holidays soon upon us, it will also be time for summer reading. All pupils must complete the following books during the summer vacation.
!
There will be a written, graded test at the Rentrée on the books. We recommend that you take notes
on each book using either the “Story Notes” form for 4e or the “Synthesis Notes” form for 3e. Taking notes is not obligatory, but you are encouraged to do so because you may bring these notes with
you to use during the test. You will not be able to use your books or any typewritten notes.
!
!
Pupils going into 4e:
• Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card
ISBN 978-0765370624 (Tor Books)
• King of Shadows by Susan Cooper
ISBN 978-0689844454 (Aladdin Paperbacks)
!
Pupils going into 3e:
• The Caine Mutiny by Herman Wouk
ISBN 978-1444786071 (Hodder & Stoughton)
• Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
ISBN 978-0141023571 (Penguin)

For students needing to revise grammar skills, the following website is recommended:

Books can be ordered new or used from amazon.fr, amazon.com or bookdepository.co.uk. You may
read other editions of these novels, but these ISBN numbers are provided to help you order a correct
hard copy rather than an abridged, audio or Kindle edition.
!
Best wishes for an enjoyable summer!
!
Kind regards,
!
!
