Members of One Book One Sullivan read diligently all summer long, reading a book from the Rebecca Caudill book list each week. The group’s goal was to choose a book that would be enjoyable to readers of all ages in Sullivan and the surrounding communities. The students will be announcing their 2017-2018 communitywide book Tuesday, November 21 in the middle school gym.

The following is a brief view of the top five selections:
