My Project

These kids are used to having to share everything. They share computers and pencils and even food sometimes. If we had these novels then they could experience having their OWN copy and not have to worry about sharing. They could take the novel home and read to a family member. They could take it to ball practice. They could read on the bus.

We'd be grateful for the help, even if you can only buy one book.

These novels are examples of great literature and I really want our kids to have the opportunity to read them and know they don't have to share.
