At BookFest 2012 on Friday, May 4, students from around the tri-state area will come to Northern Kentucky University for a day of fun activities related to books they have read.

To help students prepare for the event, each book on the reading lists below includes links to online information about the author and subject matter that teachers can use as additional resources. This information was compiled by Amy Cody of Walton-Verona Middle School.
