There should be a word or a phrase for the feeling you get when you finish a great book in a series, go to the library for the next one, and find out that it's already been checked out! Let's call it Next Book Anxiety. It all started when a student asked for a recommendation for silent reading. Another 3rd grade teacher had just recommended that I read a six-book epic, called The Land of Stories. That day, I went out, bought two copies of book 1, and handed one to the student the next day. Other students saw this, and asked if I had any extra copies. As of now, I have bought 4 copies of book 1, 3 copies of book 2, and one copy each of books 4-6. My students read whenever they get a chance, and they are always excited to discuss their favorite moments and characters. I now have 5 or 6 students coming up to me daily, asking me for the next book in whichever series they happen to be reading. I'm proud of my students for creating an environment in which even my most reluctant readers are asking for more books to read. Unfortunately, like most classroom, I only have one or two copies of each book. The book series that are currently trending in my class are The Land of Stories, Boxcar Children, Notebook of Doom, and Dragon Masters. With each passing day, more of my students are afflicted with Next Book Anxiety. Please help me get more of these books with this project!
