It's Here! The 2019-20 One Book is Dear Evan Hansen
Dear Evan Hansen, by Val Emmich with Steven Levenson, Benj Pasek & Justin Paul, is a story about Evan Hansen, a social awkward, anxiety-ridden teen. When a letter that was never meant to be seen draws him into a family's grief over the loss of their son, he has to stick to a lie he never meant to tell--that the notoriously troubled Connor Murphy was his secret best friend.
The One Book, One Amity program is an all-out, community-wide effort to create a shared experience and promote literacy.
All staff, faculty, and students in grades 9-12 will receive a free copy of the book chosen, (one per family).
Special events will be held around the year at Amity built around the themes in the book.
For more information, student resources, and suggesting questions, go to the OneBook Resources page.
