I work in an urban, public school whose population is diverse. I have great kids, but many are struggling readers. Our school has been classified as needing to improve in our state, and we have been working hard to do just that. The academic struggles of our students are compounded by their daily personal struggles. Our school provides a variety of different counseling services and has a network within the school to assist our students. Sometimes, though, the last thing on some of my students' minds is reading a book. By introducing a novel about human struggle and survival, I'm hoping that these students will be able to find hope in literature.
