My Students are in desperate need of novels. The novels my school has are either old and falling apart, or uninteresting to today's students.

I want to use this book to teach my students how people could have possibly followed Hitler during the Holocaust. Due to budget cuts we can hardly maintain the classroom books sets we have, much less buy new novels. This leaves us with not enough books for each kid and books that are falling apart or missing pages.

I need 45 copies of "The Wave", a book that will interest my kids and teach them a valuable lesson about the mob mentality.

Your small donation can help bring literature to my students. Every year we beat our heads against the wall wondering why our kids do not like to, and in many cases can not read, but we do not change the books we teach them. It is time to make a change. Help me update my classroom library!
