Revamping Historical Fiction

Help me give my students new historical fiction from the "Girls Survive" series.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Arroyo's classroom raised $207

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am always looking to add new, amazing titles to our school's library! Students often overlook historical fiction because of the many outdated and uninteresting titles. After cleaning out our library's collection, I know we could use some updated historical fiction titles.

Girls Survive books are a fun, modern way for students to learn about history in a format that they love!

Adding these titles to our collection would help students learn about important people and times in history in an updated, exciting way! I know that these books would be checked out often and loved by many students!
