Graphic Novel Wish List

How kind, some of you have contacted me with questions on how to support our lovely school library. First of all, thank you! Secondly, general donation information my be found on our "Wish List" tab, or by clicking here.  And best for last, if you want to help us start our school year out with a bang, please consider making a donation of any of the following brand new releases to the library, because you can bet our comic-loving and entertainment-loving kids will be asking for them our first week!

http://www.amazon.com/Comics-Squad-Recess-Comic/dp/0385370032/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408851782&sr=8-1&keywords=comic+squad

Comics Squad by a bevy of our favorite artists and authors, including Jenni Holm of Babymouse fame and the infamous author of Captain Underpants, Dav Pilkey;

http://www.amazon.com/Sisters-Raina-Telgemeier/dp/0545540607/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1408851782&sr=8-2&keywords=comic+squad

Sisters by Raina Telgemeier, one of the most popular authors in our library today...this is the sequel to her bestseller, Smile;

http://www.amazon.com/Giver-Quartet-Lois-Lowry/dp/0547995660/ref=sr_1_2_bnp_1_har?ie=UTF8&qid=1409281827&sr=8-2&keywords=giver

You know that with the new movie coming out, lots of kids will be asking for Lois Lowry's Newbery-award winning title The Giver and its sequels, Gathering Blue, Messenger and Son (the book is better than the movie, by the way);


And finally, Andre the Giant:  Life and Legend by Box Brown, a perfect mix of biography and sports/wrestling with high appeal for reluctant boy readers especially. 

More copies = less squabbles and waiting lists, so donations of the same titles by different folks are welcomed.  Donations all receive a bookplate in honor of the donor inside. So sorry, donations are not in lieu of book return.  I would also like to mention, it is fully appreciated that not every family can donate books and it is not expected.  But we also appreciate that every family who reads aloud consistently to a child and encourages use of the public library gives a gift to our community: a lover of learning that is your child and our Stone student.  Thank you!
