Great Graphic Novels for Great Readers!

Help me give my students amazing, engaging new books for our classroom library. I included books we already love, like Cat Kid and Witches of Brooklyn, and new-to-us books like Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds (so excited!).

My Project

We love books in our classroom! We read for a half hour every day. Without our independent reading time, my students feel unfulfilled. Books transport us to new worlds and give us new dreams to chase. "A book is a dream you hold in your hand," Neil Gaiman.

"Once upon a time lasts forever," Philip Pullman.

My students need a vibrant, modern and engaging classroom library. It takes new books to stay excited with reading--these graphic novels are going to do the trick! I've added a new Babysitters Club book (always popular) and Spy School (which is new to us). We are on our way to becoming great readers and your support is crucial to that goal. Thank you for considering our project!
