My scholars WANT to read when the books are highly interesting to them. The outdated canon of classics available in most public schools are gathering dust while a diverse body of literature is currently available, but the districts won't buy them. Please help me get these books in the hands of the scholars who want to read them! The books I have carefully selected represent my student body and are stories rich in scenarios they can relate to. They are written for middle-grade readers and I am asking for 5 copies each in order for the students to conduct book clubs.
