Wildcats Read 2026-2027

Wildcat Read Book Resources

These books will be highlighted all year long at Whitman. Meant to be mirrors and windows, these choices help us build empathy, make sense of the world and thus feature diverse protagonists, circumstances and styles.

Age & grade recommendations are only a starting point, please monitor if a book is just right for you. The paw symbol indicates that the book is YA, potentially more suitable for 8th graders and up depending on the reader.

Some titles have audio, e-book or large print versions as well – just ask!
