For this year's OBOA you will have a choice of books--either fiction, nonfiction or graphic novels. The theme is “OBOA Goes Global: Travel the World through Books,”which means that you need to read a book with a global focus.This could include books written by an author from another country, books that take place in another country, books that teach about another part of the world, and much more! To help you pick the best book, look at thislist of recommendations from the One Book One Amity committee and the high school librarians. (Please don't pick a book that is already part of the AHS curriculum.) Questions? Watch theOBOA 2022-23 video.
