I purchased the book for the library, and it flew off the shelves, and students were begging me to get more. That is where you all come in. Because of you, there are now so many Stranger Things graphic novels and chapter books on the library shelves. They are flying off the shelves. I was barely able to get a picture to send to you all!

Not only that, but the books about trains are soaring in popularity since they are being displayed on the train table. Some of these books have not been checked out in years.
