Adi’s Reading Challenge was established in 2012 to honor the life of Allen-Stevenson student and passionate reader Aditya Srinivasan '19. The challenge encourages boys (Grade Four through Grade Seven) to read a number and range of highly acclaimed, newly published books.
Adi's Reading Challenge provides students in grades four and up the chance to read, discuss, and debate some of the best books that were published in 2021!
