Sophomore John Rosser recommends the book “Confess by Colleen Hoover.” This book, among many others in its genre, was available for purchase at Kinkaid’s 2025 Book Fair. “I liked the look of the cover, but I probably wouldn’t purchase this book,” Rosser said. (Isabella Petree)
Seniors Drace Gomez, Ethan Williams, Laine Wise, and Riley Purdy lean in to read the blurb of “Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Partypooper” by Jeff Kinney. Students can come together in a moment of connection and curiosity at the Book Fair through the love for reading. (Isabella Petree)
Freshman Jack James reads “Animal Farm” by George Orwell before thinking about buying it. “I liked the super inspirational assembly from the author,” James said. (Isabella Petree)

Seniors Drace Gomez and Gray Davis browse the book fair catalog. “One of the things that draws me to books when at the book fair is an interesting title. I think an interesting title makes me want to learn more about the book,” Gomez said.
