[CALIBK12] Book titles: sports, friendship, inspiration

[Waddle, Victoria]

You may already have many Chris Crutcher books, but for sports--and particularly swimming--as well as friendship, he's a sure bet.

Subject: [CALIBK12] Book titles: sports, friendship, inspiration

I am compiling a list of book selections that will be donated to the library to memorialize one of our best and brightest IB students who died unexpectedly this year.  I would like book titles that represent Ryan, who was an enormously popular young man.

Please send any suggestions that would fit the following criteria:

*  9-12 high school

*  Ryan was a great swimmer and water polo player

*  Poetry w/themes around sports, friendship, inspiration, etc.

Two of Ryan's favorite authors are Chuck Klosterman and Chuck Palahniuk.

Thanks very much for your suggestions.
