Drums, Girls and Dangerous Pie class set of books

Help me give my students a new class set of books! This was such a favorite for students, but we need new books.

My Project

I introduced my students to this amazing book this year. We have some leftover copies from years past, and they absolutely loved it. The kids were disappointed when class ended and wanted to read more every day!

However, since these books were old and previously used, they were really falling apart.

I did my best with book binding tape, but I do not have a usable class set of books anymore.

I would love to give my students in years to come this experience. It helped them develop empathy and taught them how life experiences shape you.
