The school I work in is a Title I school where 100% of my students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Many of the students come from low income families. More than 95% of my students are minorities. A majority of the students are English Language Learners (ELLs). Yet, despite these issues, my students love the books we read. The problem is they cannot get enough books into their hands. Like many high poverty inner-city neighborhoods where the students are primarily Latino and African-American, we do not have access to the amount of quality young adult literature that students want to read, and putting those books into their hands is a problem that can be overcome.
