My Project

I have a group of junior high students who love to read mysteries --- particularly mystery-romance. To encourage and build independent reading levels, I need to stock my shelves with a variety of genres, topics, and book levels.

Please help us stock our classroom library with quality literature and best-selling authors that will promote a love for reading.

These titles and authors are some of the best-selling favorites that my students would love to check out. While the winter months keep us inside, these books will help pass the cold season by giving them something to do.
