Graphic Novels have shipped!
Although not all parents and teachers love them, a lot of kids, especially our struggling readers, seem to really like the graphic novels, also known as Manga. We have a lot of fictional GN, but my order of non-fiction and GN based on some classics will be here soon. If you're curious about them, come down in another week or so and we should have them processed and ready to go!

Did you love the book, The Giver, by Lois Lowry? I did too.
It was really the pioneer book of the dystopia genre. Although dystopia has been redone now in so many ways (The Hunger Games), very few books compare to the quality of this quartet of books.
The last book in this series, The Son, is now out and it ties the other three books together. The whole series deals with so many issues and ideas that our students encounter on a daily basis, along with some ideas it might be interesting for them to wrestle with. I've got them on display in the Media Center. Come check them out or invite your students to do so!
