Book #3 of the summer ✅ Playing with Fire by April Henry Fast-paced and thrilling, as always. One of the few April Henry titles I don’t have in my classroom already- I’ll need to remedy that quickly!
Summer book #4 ✅ Harboring Hope by Susan Hood Another great novel in verse! The amount of research that went into writing the story of Henny & how the Danes helped the Jewish population in their country during WWII is incredible- I learned so much! #booklove #teacherswhoread
Book #5 of the summer ✅ Resist by Alan Gratz Great, quick read- companion novella of Allies. It was nice to continue reading more of Samira’s story. Great addition for students who’ve already finished Allies. #buildyourstack #teacherswhoread
Book #6 of the summer ✅ Girl in the Blue Coat by Monica Hesse YA Historical Fiction- I’ve heard great things about this one and it definitely lived up to its reputation. So many twists I didn’t see coming had my mind constantly 🤯 #TeachersWhoRead #BuildYourStack
Book #7 of the summer ✅ Rhyme Schemer by K.A. Holt 🏳️🌈 Novel in verse - absolutely LOVED this one! No surprise since House Arrest is equally amazing. Made me tear up a bit. Think I will add this to our list of options for book clubs next year. #TeachersWhoRead #BuildYourStack
When you’re enjoying Dan Santat’s graphic novel and spot Kylene Beers and Bob Probst’s Notice & Note Words of the Wiser signpost… a teacher’s brain never turns off 😅
Book #8 of the summer ✅ A First Time for Everything by Dan Santat Graphic Novel - absolutely loved it! No wonder it won the National Book Award. Perfect for middle schoolers- will recommend this one to all of my 7th & 8th grade readers next year! #TeachersWhoRead #BuildYourStack

Book #11 of the summer ✅ The Shadow Throne by Jennifer Nielsen Fantasy - book 3 in the series, but loved it just as much as book 1! I’m invested in the characters by now & it pulled the heartstrings. And the plot twists 🤯 Can’t wait to read #4! #TeachersWhoRead #BuildYourStack
Book #12 of the summer ✅ The Radium Girls by Kate Moore Nonfiction - This has been on my TBR list for a while & I’m so glad I finally read it! So incredibly interesting yet absolutely infuriating at the same time to learn how these brave women were treated. #TeachersWhoRead

Book #15 of the summer ✅ The Captive Kingdom by Jennifer Nielsen Fantasy - book 4 of the series had just as many surprises as book 1! Only 1 more book left- I’m not ready for the series to end. 😫
