Owls Read 2023
Outcasts United, by Warren St. John
Note: Grades 7 and 8 should read the Young Readers Edition. 
Grades 9-12 should read the standard, unabridged edition.
Outcasts United is the story of a refugee soccer team, a remarkable woman coach and a small southern town turned upside down by the process of refugee resettlement.
It's a tale about resilience, the power of one person to make a difference and the daunting challenge of creating community in a place where people seem to have little in common. (From the author's website)
In 2020, the English Department introduced an annual school-wide summer reading program in which everyone in the MUS community reads a work selected by the headmaster and a faculty committee. The annual Owls Read selection offers a focus of discussion among students, faculty, and staff for the following school year.
Students at every grade level will see that these selections are listed as one of their required summer reading books. The Hyde Library has copies of the book in the library and on OverDrive via the Sora app.
