This dystopian book is a staple of middle school classrooms across the country. In a society were all sense of originality and uniqueness has been eliminated the main character Jonas attempts to become an original and unique. I am excited to continue reading this book with our students!

This book, focused on being a trip through a cerebral world, breaks down many of the idioms that we use in our everyday life into what they would be literally. This book is one that was read for years here at Grace and I am happy to re-introduce it to the curriculum for our ELA class this year!

This book, the first in the Shadow Children series, is a wonderful dystopian book about how the two main characters deal with being third children in a society where families are only allowed to have two kids. This book, about worldviews colliding, is an amazing new addition to middle school classrooms across the nation!
