Experiencing a Novel Need Not Be a Novel Experience!
Help me give my students the opportunity to read Jubilee by Margaret Walker, a novel that is required by the district.

My Students
Despite my students being stereotyped by their community, they are far beyond any classification. They are inquisitive, creative, and energetic readers. Being able to hold a novel in their hands and transport themselves to another world is a thrilling moment for them.
A love of learning and a driving ambition to better themselves is at the heart of their existence.
Whether working individually or together, they are always willing and anxious to experience a world of learning that will allow them to overcome barriers.
My Project
My students all are required to read and analyze the same novel for the first nine weeks; however, the cost of the novel is out of reach for my financially challenged, inner-city scholars. Since the novel currently being used is not public domain, it is nearly impossible for them to participate.
Having their own personal copies of Jubilee by Margaret Walker will not only allow them to fulfill a district requirement but will also fill them with a sense of pride!
The novel will be of such culture significance to them that a sense of excitement is already building regarding the possibility of acquiring these copies.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
