My Project

We just finished holding our school book fair, and I made a note of the titles my students really wanted to add to the library. The book fair tends to mostly carry paperback copies, which aren't always suitable for heavy student use -- I'd like to get my students good, hardcover copies of the books they expressed interest in reading.

All of these books are titles I saw students lingering over, and I'd like to give them a chance to read them!

Cookbooks, comics, graphic novels, horror, and sports -- every book on this list was either directly requested by a student OR heavily perused during our school book fair. Would you help me share these titles with my students?
