Owls Read 2025

Grades 9-12:

Into the Wild, by Jon Krakauer

In 2020, the English Department introduced an annual summer reading program in which 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 in the upper school grade levels will see that this selection is listed as one of their required summer reading books. The Hyde Library will have copies of the book in the library and on OverDrive via the Sora app.
