My Project

As an English teacher at our school, I am always seeking to enrich my students' reading experiences. That's why I am excited to introduce the works of independent author J.L. Hyde to my classroom library. Hyde's seven books are tailor-made for high school readers who enjoy mysteries and thrillers.

Hyde's storytelling prowess lies in her ability to craft gripping narratives filled with fake-outs, unexpected twists, and jaw-dropping final sentences.

Her books are not only engaging but also thought-provoking, offering students a chance to explore complex characters and intricate plots.

By bringing Hyde's books into our classroom, I aim to foster a love for reading among my students. These novels are sure to captivate their imaginations and keep them eagerly turning the pages. I believe that exposure to a variety of authors and genres is essential for developing strong reading skills and a lifelong love of literature.

However, I need your help to make this project a reality. Your donation to my DonorsChoose project will allow me to purchase a set of Hyde's books for my classroom, ensuring that all my students have access to these captivating stories. Together, we can inspire a new generation of readers and ignite a passion for literature in our students. Thank you for your support!
