Lessons in school stories
Buying a box of crayons will get you in a back-to-school mood, even if you're not going back to school. But so will reading a novel like A Separate Peace, Moo or The Lords of Discipline.

It's nearly back-to-the-books time. Even if no one at your house will be in school this fall, you might enjoy one of these novels, all of which feature school settings. The comments are by readers of The Kansas City Star and KansasCity.com. Titles are listed alphabetically. (
