I was so emotionally invested in the story that I got choked up toward the end.

Set against the backdrop of Robert Kennedy Sr.'s 1967 poverty tour of the Mississippi Delta, The Lucky Ones is "a touching novel that resonates today."

A tradition unlike any other. The morning of our last day before break our principal, Sue Haney, caters a breakfast for our entire staff. She also gifts each staff member a book of their choice to enjoy during break. It is a magical morning. It is so much fun seeing the variety of books!

Wow. My Brother Is Away continues to be one of the most captivating books I read aloud to my 5th graders each year. The conversations we had today were important and fascinating.

Elementary School Librarians:

Do you all use the Dewey Decimal system for organizing books in your library?

I'm asking for a manuscript that I'm revising. Please REPOST if you see this. I seriously need to know the answer.

Thanks!
