Many of our students want to transfer to UC Berkeley. We encourage them to check out this site, which has a list of recommended summer reading for the incoming freshmen at Cal:
http://reading.berkeley.edu/index.html
I especially like the list from 2010 because all the books are about teaching/learning, "Education Matters"

In addition, to The Absolutely True Diary, Wonder, and Curious Incident of the Dog, there are a LOT of other great books that are not too difficult for Adv B students. Here is a short list of some of my favorites (along with a link to a cool bookstore where you can buy them):Aristotle is an angry teen with a brother in prison. Dante is a know-it-all who has an unusual way of looking at the world. When the two meet at the swimming pool, they seem to have nothing in common. But as the loners start spending time together, they discover that they share a special friendship—the kind that changes lives and lasts a lifetime. And it is through this friendship that Ari and Dante will learn the most important truths about themselves and the kind of people they want to be.
Miles “Pudge” Halter is done with his safe life at home. His whole life has been one big non-event. He heads off to the sometimes crazy and anything-but-boring world of Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe. Because down the hall is Alaska Young. The gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, self-destructive, screwed up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young. She is an event unto herself. She pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart. Then. . . .
