Yes!!! (And Allegedly, How It Went Down, and The Hate U Give.) Kids are devouring the surge in publication by black authors. Yay!!!

Well, that allowed me to do a different Battle of the Books for each grade. One of the titles is Dear Martin. I had enough in my budget from the grants to order 25 copies. I have 12 to 15 copies of the other titles on this grade’s list. Well, I am starting to promote these reading lists. To my surprise, every copy of Dear Martin is checked out (and the other titles still have plenty of copies available). I haven’t promoted it once. I ordered more copies of it because I thought it would be popular, but would have never guessed that it would be this popular. Anyone else having this phenomenon with Dear Martin?
