All year we have been trying to start an after school book club but did not really have the resources to do so. Our book sets are old. Some are missing pages and others are missing covers or have been written in. Our school did not have the budget to buy new books. Your amazing and generous gift has allowed us to buy a set of books that will allow us to start our book club off with a bang! We love the smell of fresh, new books and we are so excited to get a set from such a popular and loved author. We just know that we will have more students join as a result of your generosity. We are looking forward to meeting after school to read the books, discuss themes and deeper meanings, and make new friends as we explore the great world of literature that you have provided for us.\r\n\r\nThank you so much!!
