It is also a place where I can pull books for small groups to work together, collaborate, grow as readers and learners, and develop a love of reading. \r\n\r\nThis group of texts, specifically, has reached the hands of students who thirst for historical fiction texts, as well as reluctant readers. Reading about historical events, and being able to experience events through the safety of a text, but with one's own emotions is a powerful thing.
