Hampton Bays sixth- and eighth-graders recently participated in a voluntary book challenge in conjunction with author Jerome Mark Antil. 

As part of the challenge, sixth-graders were tasked with reading Antil’s “The Pompey Hollow Book Club,” while eighth-graders were assigned “Hemingway, Three Angels, and Me.” After reading the stories, the students wrote reviews of them and sent them to Antil.  

Antil will join the students in the spring to discuss their reviews and present them with certificates. He also acknowledged the sixth-graders’ reviews in an article he recently published: http://www.prweb.com/releases/prweb15332864.htm.
