My name is Mrs. Lewis and I am your new librarian at Gowan Science Academy. I am a long time member of the Gator community and I am also the mom of 3 current gators! I bring a love of literature to my role and have been enjoying seeing your students embrace our library culture! Please make sure to check back here regularly to see what literary adventures we are embarking on!

Student & Staff Recommendations
BY: Roald Dahl
I like the heartfelt fantasy of B.F.G. and how the words and story flows together. I love how it's a fun, easy read but also long enough to keep you engaged. My favorite part is when they go and see the Queen in England.

Esperanza Rising
By: Pam Muńoz Ryan
I connect most with Esperanza Ortega because she had to adjust to a new life, learn new skills, and stay strong through difficult situations. She reminds me of myself because I learned to be resilient and confident while learning a new language and finding my voice.
