I'm so excited to read some of the books that students have recommended to me. The first is "I Survived the Bombing of Pearl Harbor1941". I can definitely see why this series is so popular and flies off the shelf. The action is nonstop, the storyline progresses quickly, and the characters are believable. As a teacher, I love the ties to real history and the resources at the end to encourage kids to learn more. I will definitely continue purchasing this series for the library.
Next read..."Kidnapped" by Gordon Korman.
