My Project

Every year I beg for a few more copies of The Hate U Give and Dear Martin for our 8th grade classroom library, and every year they disappear into students’ hands, backpacks, and hearts.

The Hate U Give, Dear Martin, and their sequels: these books inspire the kind of reading zeal we teachers dream of, and we need your help to keep up with demand.

My 8th grade classroom library serves around 100 students for daily 10-minute choice time. We operate on the honor system because students return the vast majority of books without issue - but with these popular texts, it’s hard to keep up!

Over the years, they’ve walked away with students who moved or transferred, and the truth is, we didn’t have enough copies to begin with.

Help us restock copies of these hyper-popular texts, so they can rev the reading engines of years of 8th graders to come!
