Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Help! My students have been bit by the Stranger Things bug! The only antidote is to offer them young-adult, horror books.

After watching the Stranger Things series on Netflix, students are clamoring for books that satisfy their zest for the macabre, mysterious, and horrific, so please help me by giving them young-adult, horror books at all levels.

My students read at levels from first grade to college, so I need to provide them with books that engage them and keep them reading.

This set of young adult horror books will do just that! The books offer students multiple scares, monsters, and modalities, including graphic novels, for reading right at their level. They will devour these books, satisfying their wildest, most horrific imagination.
